Natalia asked: > Could you expand your comment regarding the debt owed by Chirac to Sharon?
See item below. If you have a better explanation on why Chirac is hostile to the country that wants to make his euro the world's petro-currency, I'm interested. Chris AFP July 29, 2005 Friends again as Sharon ends visit to France PARIS - Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon left Paris Friday at the end of a three-day visit to France which officials from both countries said confirmed a new spirit of friendship after years of mutual mistrust. Speaking on French radio just before boarding the plane for Tel Aviv, Sharon, 77, said it was the "dawn of a new era" in Franco-Israeli relations. "France has a central role in everything that happens in the Middle East, in Lebanon, in Syria and Iran," the prime minister said. "There is no point looking for a fly in the ointment. There isn't one," a Sharon aide told AFP. "The whole trip has been extraordinary. Our differences are almost non-existent." ... Sharon called Chirac "one of the world's great leaders" while the president decribed Sharon as "courageous" for his planned pull-out from the Gaza Strip next month. Officials said a convergence of views was established on a series of subjects, including the fight against terrorism, the need to check Iran's nuclear programme, the assertion of Lebanese independence and a firm line against anti-Semitism. _______________________________________________ Futurework mailing list [email protected] http://fes.uwaterloo.ca/mailman/listinfo/futurework
