To all the French Haters
Posted: 5/13/2004, 10:56 pm
I know many of my southern neighbors are angry towards the french, but don't know quite why. Oh yes they decided notto enter a war. They didn't sabotage a war, they didn't prevent a war, they didn't neglect to defend it's close ally America, it refused to go to war without further thought. Lets take a look at what the French said concerning entering the war to the UN.
"Make no mistake about it: the choice is indeed between two visions of the world. To those who choose to use force and think they can solve world's complexity through swift and preventive action, we offer a contrast determined action over time. For today, to ensure our security, all the dimensions of the problem must be taken into account: both the manifold crisis and their many facets, including cultural and relgious. Nothing lasting in international relations can be built therefore without dialogue and respect forthe other. To ignore this is to run the risk of misunderstanding, radicalization and spiraling violence. This is even more true in the Middle East, and area of fractures and ancient conflicts where stability must be a major object for us."
this was a speech made to UN reps, what was George's rational response?
"Your either with us or against us!"
of course we can't expect george to even understand what Dominique said.
Of course he should have listened, America should have thought more about the issues that they would face after, then they wouldn't be dealing with what they are now. Lets remember the French have been in the game much longer then the American's hell they nearly WON the game TWICE, once with Nappy and the other time when they were still known as Gaul. Afterwards they were a major player in colonial europe, including the force that made American independence a reality, because lets be serious for a moment AMERICA DIDN'T HAVE A BLOODY CHANCE IN HELL WITHOUT THE FRENCH. France also inspire Jefferson to write. Benjamin Franklin often vistied there. France was always a sturdy ally to the weak America. In return when france and Russia are the onlythings holding back the german machine, America sits back cautiously waiting for a more oppertune time to attack. They give a fickle amount of troops compared to the rest of the world and then claim to be Frances savior. France has always been your ally, and because of a disagreement over invading a country all that has been thown away.
