people always talk about France and their awkward stances on both personal hygiene and the impending war on Iraq and forget that they were initially against action and one of the bigger stumbling blocks, the first time when Saddam invaded Kuwait.
While some people are busying themselves by claiming that its not necessary to depose Saddam Hussein and that diplomacy and peace should be given a chance, i am more worried about his unnacounted rockets, chemical war heads, V-X gas, Anthrax etc etc. i am more concerned by the fact that after 12 years, 17 UN Security Resolutions and continued games, people think there is a "peaceful" way to deal with him. the really scary thing about Saddam Hussein is that the UN Security Council voted unanimously to give him one last chance and it was clear that if he should not cooperate, he would be destroyed and he continues to not cooperate.
its incredibly easy for French to be against against ruthless, murderous dictatorships with clear and stated goals and intentions of causing as much destruction as possible against western countries while supporting terrorists (uh... hello.. the worls most wanted terrorist before Osama Bin Laden, Abu Nidal lived in Bagdad), when tens of millions of people willingly fought and died to give them that right through the course of the last century.
Nice bang up job they did in the Ivory Coast recently to stop the fighting... force an agreement on the legitimate government to share power with a group of rebels trying to destroy them. Now the entire population of The Ivory Coast is in the street threatening France and french people and most asking for US intervention. Cool footage of thousands locals spitting on them and threatening to kill them as French citizens were being evacuated. seems that French are not ones to brag about diplomacy and giving "peace a chance".
What great masterpiece of diplomacy has France been responsible for in the last 100 years?
Britain is another great example of peace and understanding. there is a reason London is nicknamed "Londonistan". They invited every terrorist from the middle east and north africa to live in England, gave them asylum, housing and benefits. in recent times, they let people openly declare war on them in their own city under the protection of free speech and religion. they let a local mosque turn into a recruitment and training center for terrorists .... they let a known radical muslim cleriq declare war on the very people that gave him a place to live, that gave him housing, medical care..
at least they have the balls to take action and start taking these people down. at least they have the foresight to see that addressing the problem sooner rather than later can spare possible millions of deaths.
Hitler was not doing different than what Saddam is doing right now. He began by breaking the Treaty of Versailles and building up his military again. He was dismissed as a idiot who would not last long. But when it was too late... it was REALLY too late. Saddam should not be developing weapons, but he is. He should be accounting for and destroying his weapons (i.e. 300 plus rockets illegally imported, stores of V-X gas, Anthrax, Chemical Warheads, other chemical and biological agents, info on nuclear program) but he is not. He has made it clear that Kuwait is Iraq. He has made it clear that he intends to take over the entire Middle East, destroy Isreal and annex Saudi Arabia. He has made it clear that he is a murderer and even used gas to kill thousands of men, women and children who never knew what hit them.
fuck Saddam Hussein. the sooner he is shot in the face, the better the world will be.
