French news headlines:Le Monde: Iraq: The Challenges of Reconstruction. Namely, getting the coalition to work together, getting the Iraqis to work together, and avoiding any humanitarian disasters of the sort that will provoke UN help.
Le Figaro: Chirac and the Constraints of Popularity. Chirac is still riding high after a big victory in a dream race against Le Pen a year ago. Some are already suggesting a third term in four years. But the popularity is not uniform and figuring out how to use it rather than just trying to hang on to it is a challenge.
Libé: Chirac-Raffarin: The Less Hard is Done. le moins dur are the words in the headline. The charge? tough on crime is easy. tough on bloated government handouts ain't. so what's next now that the budget's at the top of the agenda?
Ouest-France: Paperwork: a wound on agriculture. A new study is out, revealing that farmers, like everyone else, spend too much time filling out forms when they should be doing their jobs. American farmers, I'm sure, will sympathize.
