Even if this is not true, don't be surprised if the French start 
blaming US interests for the unrest.


Pfui. The French-language press is doing no such thing.

OK, it's French-language press, and that's what I said, so I was wrong, 
alright ... BUT the "Jirinovski" in the story is out of Moscow, not 
France!  And he's a Hussein apologist and general nut-job, what's more.  
So, it's not exactly the "French press" .... LeMonde, Figaro, and what I 
see of the Canandian press are certainly not digging for conspiracy 
theories to explain the mess; it's all too easy to explain without 
anything extra.
