It is a question of realism and the danger of war is real.”
Hussein, who last night was guest of honor at a state banquet, told reporters as he was leaving the Elysee Palace that he had had “intensive talks” with French President Valery Giscard d’Estaing. French sources said the position of the two countries is fairly close.
