It must be the echo...

Barely have I posted a diatribe on the ultimate responsibility of a sovereign, and already some people echo my sentiments. Well, let's not be too humble - it is no less than the French FM who decided to confirm my thoughts on the subject.

"For several hours, there has been a bombardment of an airport of an entirely sovereign country, a friend of France ... this is a disproportionate act of war," Douste-Blazy told Europe 1 radio station.

Oops... It seems that, while confirming that Lebanon is indeed a sovereign country, the guy succeeded somehow to distort the meaning. Hmm...

OK, it could be explained. One or the following must have happened:

  1. My poor French (non-existent, to stick to the truth)
  2. Acoustic distortion - happens all the time with the echo
  3. Inherited genetic problems that the double surname families are plagued by
Further research is indicated.
