Chirac ate with Bush last night. They had "French fries" ( which, everybody knows, are the most representative, flavoury French plate of our gastronomy... apart from the fact that they are known to be Belgian). The two men were said to behave nothing more than cordially towards each other. Bush was asked if Chirac would go to his Texas ranch and he "wittily" answered that he needs a coyboy there...
I wonder how Bush's money-begging is going to end up. Anyway....

Lebanon is demonstrating to ask the Syrian army out.... I do hope that they will be free soon and that this will not end up in a bloodshed.

Pierre Bachelet was buried yesterday.
