Whereas France's PM J.-P. Raffarin clings to the diplomatically correct statement that "countries involved in the fight against terrorism are being targeted...", most of the local press/medias claim that the attack was not aimed at "Westerners in general" but specifically targeted France, French personnel and, ultimately, the French governement's foreign policy regarding Arab countries, the Mideast, etc.

Interesting. I am fairly confident that the U.S. media (NY Times, Wash Post, etc.) would parrot the government party line.
