| Dontcha just bet they are? IRNA -- Head of the economic commission of the French Senate and Head of the Iranian parliamentary commission for economic affairs voiced their countries' readiness to boost ties in all areas and in particular in the economic sphere. Gerard Larcheh of France and Abdollahi of Iran vowed to pursue efforts to broaden the bilateral ties with the support of the parliaments of the two states to undertake more practical steps in this regard. Abdollahi commented on the huge potentials in Iran's gas and oil sectors and stressed the expansion of the cooperation between the two countries in developing energy fields of Iran. "Yeah. Maybe you Frenchies can make up some of what you lost in Iraq by despoiling Iran. Just make sure you kick into the Old Ayatollahs' Retirement Fund..." He said the car-manufacturing industry is also among the ideal areas for the good mutual cooperation adding that the region where Iran is located some 300 million people live and there are good markets for modern vehicles. But they'll settle for Renaults... He then commented on the situation in the region and in Iraq and praised the positions taken by France vis-a-vis the developments in Iraq. He voiced Iran's readiness to help rebuild Iraq adding that Iran and France could, under and the United Nations, embark on active projects and practical steps to reconstruct Iraq. "Soon's we get them Merkins out, it'll be our'n! All our'n!" |

| #8 Didn't France? In a head to head competition of products, free nations will choose the best product at the best prices. Those locked in a brutal dictatorship with torture and malnutrition will vote Chirac! |
