During his time in the Syrian capital, Sarkozy sat down with Lebanese daily newspaper Al-Akhbar, which quoted the French leader as saying that Paris "does not view Hizballah as a terror organization, rather it appreciates its opposition to occupation, as France has faced a similar experience in the past."Okay, the Al-Akhbar Lebanese daily seems to be nothing more than Hizballah's unofficial press organ, so I will grant such a dubious source (yeah, I am being polite here. Enjoy while it lasts) as much credibility as I give any French daily such as Le Monde or Liberation.
I am rebuilding the site from the ground up.
As of January 18, 2021, only basic blogging is implemented.
Features that were previously available—and a bunch of new ones—are still under (re)construction, and will be deployed gradually as soon as they are ready. That includes the site-wide search engine, the blogroll, membership registration and, well, more...
Yes, thank you for your patience.
Note that some of the legacy content (anything I published before the current redesign) may not display as expected—this will be addressed in the future.

Funny as always, DF. From this side of the pond, going back to the middle east for France looks like someone wants to repeat Algeria. What the heck?

I’m amazed that Sarkozy has time to think about forming a union with the Arab States since he’s so busy fixing the “cease fire” between Russia and Georgia in which he gave away everything to the Russians. Oh well, I see that Putin is repayinng his generosity with judo lessions.

It would appear the US’s delight in seeing Mr. Sarkozy’s election was somewhat ... premature?
I don’t know, DF - it would appear the entire world is on a fast track to hell these days. I fear for the world my son will live in when I’m gone. If the “Messiah” manages to steal the upcoming election - that may be sooner, rather than later.
Fight the good fight!
