Congratulations.
And the words of comrade Iossif Vissarionovitch echo in my head : 2,000 dead is a tragedy. 2,000,000 dead is statistics.

A statement purportedly from the captors of two French journalists in Iraq gave France 48 hours Monday to accept three new conditions – agreeing to a recent truce offer by Osama bin Laden, paying a $5 million ransom and pledging not to get involved in Iraq.
The Islamic Army of Iraq has decided to make “the following demands to release the two French hostages,” said a statement posted on an Islamic Web site. The statement, whose authenticity could not be confirmed, listed the demands as “accepting a truce between them and Sheik Osama bin Laden, paying a $5 million ransom and pledging not to engage militarily and commercially in Iraq.”

Company officials said 18.3 percent of the workforce heeded calls for a 24-hour strike, while the SUD-PTT union spoke of a figure of 25 percent and said the response was “significant.”
Another union, the CGT, said between 30 and 70 percent of the workforce was on strike, with turnout varying among branches.
The strike call followed an announcement by the government September 1 that it would reduce its stake in France Telecom to below 50 percent.

There is an article on the new Musée de Quai Branley, Chirac’s museum of primitive art. It won’t open until 2006 but the article is very interesting.
Islamic militants in Iraq have handed over two French hostages to another guerrilla group opposed to their kidnap and murder, the editor of one of the reporters held captive said Thursday.
As hopes rose that Georges Malbrunot and Christian Chesnot could be released as soon as Friday, the Muslim day of prayer, French Foreign Minister Michel Barnier told reporters he understood the pair were “alive and getting good treatment.”
Le Figaro editor Jean de Belot said on France Info radio: “The latest information is that Christian Chesnot and Georges Malbrunot have been handed over by the Islamic Army in Iraq to an Iraqi Sunni guerrilla group… an opposition that we know for a few days now has been in favor of the release of the hostages.”
