Photoshow: Hillary Clinton in Paris with President Hollande

Many here will remember that when Libya was boiling over in March, 2011, Mme. Secretary visited Paris twice in a week (with trips in between to Cairo and Tunis). On March 19, her second visit,  she greeted then-President Sarkozy triumphal in having convinced President Obama to cooperate in establishing a no-fly zone over Libya:  Hillary Clinton à Paris : Chapitre Deux.

Reminiscent of those scenes in the courtyard of the Elysée Palace, was her greeting there today from new French President François Hollande and  Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius while yet another Arab nation faces crisis.   She is in Paris participating in a meeting of Foreign Ministers at the Friends of the Syrian People initiative.
