#1 Israel should note that as long as European prosecutors continue to threaten Israeli officials with arrest, using international warrants, Israel can hardly offer free passage to European officials. Quid pro quo, baby.

#3 coup de foudre = love at first sight? Or do you mean something else, Besoeker? My French is very limited.

#4 Feckless Chas Michel attended an AIDs conference recently and said his eyes met those of Carla Bruni Sarkozy. He claimed it was coup de foudre (unforgetable moment) between the two. She failed to see the humour however and he later retracted.

#5 Ah. And the silly man will deservedly be haunted by his one-way thunderbolt for the rest of his public career. How lovely for him.

#6 Precisely TW, haunted for eternity. Even if factual and I doubt it is, gentlemen should never experience le coup de foudre and tell. Falls quite squarely into the never 'monkey with another monkey's monkey' rule of personal conduct. Especially when it's the wife of a president.

Could be different in Balgium (doubt it) but in France it means definitely "love at first sight" not the kind of things Carla Bruni or her huasaband would be pleased about.
