| Syria Halts Contacts With France on Lebanon |
| 2008-01-03 |
| Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Moallem said Syria is ending contacts with France on the political standoff in Lebanon. The decision follows a similar move by France. On Sunday, French President Nicolas Sarkozy told reporters in Cairo he is suspending contact with Syria until he sees proof that Damascus is working for a solution to Lebanon's political crisis. Syria's foreign minister said the West is sending mixed messages to Syria when it calls for no foreign interference in Lebanon. Moallem says, on the other hand, Syria is being called on to use its its influence in Lebanon. He calls this a "confusing situation" and says Syria will not interfere in Lebanese affairs. |

| #2 maybe France wanted to get out of crappy contracts that Chirac signed so he can sign for futures in fuel cell and other alternative energy sources. Hey Syria, while there will always be plenty of need for oil in our lifetimes, it is the fuel of the 20th Century. I'm sure you didn't notice, but we are in the 21st. |
