Lebanon's French dimension and other issues
I've not encountered many international 'special relationships', but Le Monde reckons France has one with Lebanon. It also refers to the deceased Lebanese prime minister Rafic Hariri as having been Chirac's 'best overseas friend'. Crikey.
Elsewhere, Le Figaro reports the death of Pol Pot's successor as head of the Khmer Rouge, Ta Mok. I won't be sending flowers, although the item notes that his death deprives the justice system of a vital witness. I have some misgivings over victor's justice, but if any post war regime's rulers deserve to go on trial it is those of the Khmer Rouge.
