How does that relate to the question of corruption? If the oil voucher
corruption tale is indeed true, what does it matter whether the
corporation involves Haliburton or Total Petrofina? What does it matter
whether one corrupt leader's country is blisteringly unfair to its poor
or the other corrupt leader's country attempts more social remediation?
If they are corrupt leaders, Saint Chirac and Demon Dubya both belong in
the dustbin. How could it be otherwise? To cut Chirac slack would be to
patronize the excellent French people (no irony intended). I'm sure they
wouldn't want that.
