Bashar on Arafat

He must be getting desperate: from an interview which Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad gave to French TV’s Channel 3, aired on Syrian TV on December 5.

I do not understand how France can place all its efforts into investigating the assassination of Prime Minister Al-Hariri – something I understand and support – while it does not say a word about the assassination of President Arafat, who was assassinated in the Palestinian territories and who died in a French hospital. This event passed by without us knowing anything about it. Why these double standards? This is not characteristic of French policy. This is one of the things I don’t understand, and I don’t know if I can expect an answer soon.

Some hints to help Bashar out here: one, an old man, died in hospital after a lengthy illness: the other was blown up.
