| France tells Syria to pull out troops from Lebanon | |
| 2005-02-13 | |
PARIS — France wants complete compliance with a UN resolution that effectively calls for Syrian withdrawal from Lebanon, the president's office said yesterday after a meeting between President Jacques Chirac and the special UN envoy to Lebanon. Lebanese parliamentary elections set for May "represent a step that the international community will be very sensitive to," Chirac's office said.

| #10 Pretty much any place the Paleos move into turns to a $%#@ hole. Have any guesses about how any Paleo state is going to look? Lebanon would be fine if it kicked the Paleos out and killed off the Iranian wannabe trogs off. |

| #9 JFM, you have a point :-) TGA's right: Beirut was the "Paris of the Middle East" for its cosmopolitan beauty and ways. They had a lot of tension there (1958, anyone?), but having the Paleos move in set off the final wrecking of the country. Let the French work to clean Lebanon out and rehabilitate it. It's about all the Froggies can handle :-) |

| #8 Don't be silly, being ruled by the Frogs was wonderful compared to being ruled by Arabs. |

| #7 TGA, are you saying that was a result of the French as opposed to the Lebanese? Anybody who was ruled by the frogs had to overcome a great impediment to achieve anything. |

| #6 Not so, Bombarama: Beirut in the 60s was a great place to be, with great food, nightclubs and beautiful women all over the place. |

| #1 France used to control Lebanon and a lot of people there speak french. Of course France's real power still is within spitting distance of zero. |
