Vietnam... Seppuku always has its place but are you sure you want to?

Korea... UN, a draw.

Somalia... UN and US

At one UN summit where there was no translation, President Chirac pretended not to understand questions in English and demanded that Tony Blair, who speaks French, act as his interpreter

I hope Tony's second word was "Off"

“At one UN summit where there was no translation,” Suddenly, I doubt of that. A UN summit, when The French President, but probably others French speaking countries are invited and no translators? Can I have more details of that?:inquisitive:
