A raucous debate erupted last Wednesday after Premier Jacques Chirac told the National Assembly, "There can be no discussion, direct or indirect, with terrorists." Opposition deputies sharply questioned the government's appeals to Syria for help in tracking down the Paris bombers. Fumed Socialist Lionel Jospin: "If Country X in the Middle...
