It wasn't just that a ship was sunk - there was also a person aboard it who was murdered by the act of terorrism as well. It was the only act of terrorism or war in New Zealand in the whole twentieth century, so you can see why it is a big deal there. </p>
<p>What Segolene DIDN'T say was interesting: in that Le Parisien interview she expressed pride in her brother as a soldier and she didn't express any sadness for the murdered photographer or regret at the irresponsibility of an act of war against a friendly nation. </p>
<p>That tells an awful lot about her fitness for office - that she lacks human compassion and lacks judgement in handling international affairs.</p>
<p>Having said that, one of her rivals - Laurent Fabius - was the prime minister at the time. He may not have known about the attack in advance but her helped to cover it up afterwards.</p>
<p>Jaques Chirac praised the bombing, so none of them emerge with credit.<br />

<p>But seriously, do voters really read? Will they care? Is it true? I guess we'll find out soon. Let's just hope the Royal Sego ain't too much like her bro.</p>
