Le Figaro has confirmed that Saudi’s King Abudllah will be the guest of honour at French President Nicholas Sarkozy’s Bastille Day celebration in July. I believe that at this occasion on Sarkozy’s first Bastille Day the Qatari Emir was the honoured guest.
It seems like this is a perfect opportunity for Sarkozy to show his guest of choice just how important he and his country is by bestowing upon them this honor. I’m sure that it doesn’t hurt when it comes to securing arms and other contracts too.

Ironic that the event being celebrated is the overthrow of a Royal Family…
That’s a great point.
And I’m surprised that point escaped you, David 🙂
Indeed. Poor form.
and you call yourself an aspiring doctor….tsk tsk
