Now we’re in trouble — our good Saudi friends are strengthening ties with our staunch French allies.
Saudi Arabia and France yesterday signed a landmark agreement to promote and protect investments. “The agreement provides the legal guarantees required by investors,” Finance and National Economy Minister Dr. Ibrahim Al-Assaf told reporters after signing the accord with French Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin.
Does this mean that if we stop buying Saudi oil, then the French will cede us Marseille?
If the House of Saud gets closer to the Champs de Gaul, then they might stop meddling in this hemisphere’s internal affairs. The Houston Chronicle posts this report from the State of Chiapas, Mexico, http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/story.hts/world/1465495 Whatever happened to the Monroe Doctrine?

“I’ve got your back, monsieur!
Reassuring for the other side, that is.
