I should have noted this earlier, but late Monday French Foreign Minister Douse de Blazy went to meet the Iranian ambassador in Beirut at the Iranian embassy. Isn't it usually the other way around with the ambassador going to the embassy of the foreign minister - in this case the French embassy? Of course, the minister may have made the trip to talk with the Iranian ambassador and a special guest there - Hezbollah's Nazrallah. Has anyone asked the minister?
