Hussein, chief French quisling Jacques Chirac is not only refusing to 
attend former President Ronald Reagan's funeral on Friday, his government 
doesn't even list a representative who will attend.

Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and German Chancellor Gerhard 
Schroeder are the only G-8 leaders who have confirmed plans to attend. 
British Prime Minister Tony Blair is expected as well, along with former 
Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and Prince Charles.

Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin says he will not attend and is sending 
Governor-General Adrienne Clarkson. Former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney is 
expected.

Others on the list for the ceremony include former Soviet President Mikhail 
Gorbachev, Irish President Mary McAleese, Afghanistan President Hamid 
Karzai, South African President Thabo Mbeki, Nigerian President Olusegun 
Obasanjo, Romanian President Ion Iliescu, Acting Lithuanian President 
Arturas Paulauskas, former Polish President Lech Walesa, former Finnish 
President Mauno Koivisto, Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Angelo 
Sodano, Australian Governor General Maj. Gen. Michael Jeffrey, former 
Japanese Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone, Slovakian President Rudolf 
Schuster, Grenadan Governor General Sir Daniel Williams, former Danish 
Prime Minister Poul Schlueter, Swedish Deputy Prime Minister Lars Engqvist
