Quote	"Over the past month, Mr Chirac has salvaged part of his tattered reputation by playing his hand skilfully at the UN. If he fails to increase France's commitment to Lebanon, his hopes of re-establishing himself on the world stage will turn out to be a charade. France and Europe have a chance to play a real role in the Middle East - and they should take it."
