In recent news, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas announced the plans to name a street in Ramallah after French President Jacques Chirac. Chirac has won Palestinian support for his opposition to the Iraq War and Israel’s actions in the Middle East. Many Palestinians will probably tout Chirac as one of the great world leaders, which is kind of like Marlee Matlin touting “Oops I Did It Again” as one of the great world songs.
