The international Left and France have been so wrong about Iraq that their only option left is to carry on.
ÉVIAN-LES-BAINS, France, June 3 -- (...) President Jacques Chirac of France, who met with President Bush on Monday in an effort to repair their fractured relationship, repeated his opinion that the war was "illegitimate and illegal." Speaking to reporters as the three-day meeting in this French spa town wound down, Mr. Chirac said, "I didn't approve of it and I still don't approve of it."
Well of course you don't.

Mr. Chirac and most of France alongside the international Left were so wrong on just about everything and they went so far to demonstrate it that there is no way they will ever admit this war was righteous. There is no way they will ever acknowledge that, possibly more than Afghanistan, this battle of Iraq in the long war against terrorism is the first positive and constructive action counterpoising the nihilist abomination of 9/11.

And now that all their murky warnings, sibylline threats, vulgar propaganda, false solutions to a real crisis, open opposition and clandestine underhandedness were exposed for what they are and proved -- at best -- to be vain, now that their champion, the Butcher of Baghdad, fell from his throne in less than three weeks and crawled under a rock, they frenetically fall back to whatever argument they can think about in order to maintain the illusory validity of their position.

Looting among the rubble of an argumentation built on sand, they lean against the last wall that sketchily stand up, the one on which is written a cryptic acronym that reads WMD.

Psyching themselves up at the idea of firing their last bullet to make their point, the people supposedly outraged at the one year long American "rush" to war, the people who, after 12 years of diplomatic hide and seek game still wanted to give more time to the UN inspectors, this very people starts asking, hardly two months after the fall of Saddam's bloody regime, "Where are the weapons of mass destruction?"

Once again, they're feverishly lying in wait for a trip of the Coalition.

And once again, they're despising and ignoring the Iraqi people suffering and his legitimate yearning for liberation.
The endless duplicity of the same noxious crowd impelled me to create this new Flash banner "No WMD? WDM", a gloomy and (sadly) unavoidable echo of another banner I created almost 4 months ago in the same spirit and emphasizing on the same point, "The price of their peace".

Like the previous one, I'm offering this banner freely to anybody wishing to display or distribute it. Just help yourself:

Download a zip archive containing the Flash movie and instructions on how to publish it on a website.

Download a self-playing executable to pass along to your friends using MS Windows.

Download a self-playing clip for the same purpose but for the Macintosh users.

This should be piece of cake for the veterans of the price of peace banner but in any case, if you need help or guidance, drop me a mail.
I hope this banner will help, even modestly, to set the focus back on what's always been a major aspect of this crisis and, should you decide to help by spreading it, I wish to sincerely thank you.

Let's not forget that whatever happens next in Iraq, be it today, tomorrow or in ten years, there's a murderous tyrant and a violent régime down.

There are kids, women and men who won't end up buried dead or alive in the depths of mass graves.

For that, and just for that, this war was right.

As for the rest, I don't mind.

La gauche internationale et la France ont eu tellement tort concernant l'Iraq, que la seule option qui leur reste est de continuer.
ÉVIAN-LES-BAINS, France, 3 juin -- (...) Le Président français Jacques Chirac, qui a rencontré le Président Bush lundi pour s'efforcer de réduire la fracture de leurs relations, a réitéré son opinion selon laquelle la guerre était "illégitime et illégale." S'adressant aux reporters alors que le meeting dans cette ville thermale française touchait à sa fin, M. Chirac a déclaré, "Je ne l'approuvais pas et ne l'approuve toujours pas"
Evidemment que non.

M. Chirac, la majeure partie de la France et la gauche internationale ont eu tellement tort sur pratiquement tous les points et ils sont allés si loin pour le démontrer qu'ils ne peuvent en aucune manière reconnaître que cette guerre était juste. Il ne peuvent en aucune manière admettre que, plus encore peut-être que l'Afghanistan, cette bataille d'Irak dans la longue guerre contre le terrorisme est la première action positive et constructive à même de contrebalancer l'abomination nihiliste du 11 septembre.

Et maintenant que tous leurs ténébreux avertissements, menaces sibyllines, propagande grossière, fausses solutions à une vraie crise, opposition ouverte et magouilles en sous-main ont été exposés pour ce qu'ils sont et se sont révélés -- pour le moins -- vains, maintenant que leur champion, le Boucher de Bagdad, est tombé de son trône en moins de trois semaines pour ramper sous une roche, ils s'en remettent frénétiquement au premier argument auquel ils puissent penser pour maintenir la validité illusoire de leur prise de position.

Pillant les débris d'une argumentation construite sur du sable, ils s'adossent au dernier mur tenant vaguement debout, celui sur lequel figure un cryptique acronyme, WMD, Armes de destruction massive.

Réprimant mal leur enthousiasme à l'idée de tirer la dernière cartouche de leur argumentaire, les individus soi-disant outragés par la "course" américaine à la guerre, longue de plus d'un an, les individus qui, après 12 ans de cache-cache diplomatique tenaient toujours à donner plus de temps aux inspecteurs, ces individus là commencent déjà à demander, deux mois à peine après la chute du régime sanglant de Saddam Hussein, "Où sont les armes de destruction massive ?"

Une fois de plus, ils sont fiévreusement à l'affût d'un faux pas de la Coalition.

Et une fois de plus, ils méprisent et ignorent les souffrances du peuple irakien et son légitime désir de libération.
La sempiternelle duplicité des mêmes multitudes malfaisantes m'a poussé à créer cette nouvelle bannière Flash "No WMD? WDM", tel un lugubre et malheureusement inévitable écho d'une autre bannière que j'avais créé il y a déjà quatre mois de cela, dans le même esprit et insistant sur le même aspect des choses, "The price of their peace".

Comme la précédente, j'offre cette bannière librement à quiconque souhaite l'afficher ou la distribuer. Alors servez vous :

Téléchargez une archive zip contenant le clip Flash et les instructions pour le publier sur un site web.

Téléchargez un exécutable autonome pour le distribuer à vos relations utilisant MS Windows.

Téléchargez en un autre du même type mais pour les utilisateurs Macintosh.

Cela devrait être une promenade de santé pour les vétérans de la bannière the price of peace mais juste au cas où, balancez moi un email si vous avez besoin d'aide ou d'indications.
Je souhaite que cette bannière puisse, même modestement, remettre un peu les choses en place quand à un aspect majeur de cette crise et, dussiez vous décider de m'y aider en la distribuant, je vous en remercie sincèrement.

N'oublions pas que quoi qu'il arrive ensuite en Irak, aujourd'hui, demain ou dans dix ans, il y a un tyran assassin et un régime violent en moins.

Il y a des enfants, des femmes et des hommes qui ne finiront pas inhumés morts ou vifs dans les tréfonds d'une fosse commune.

Pour cela, et pour cela seulement, cette guerre était juste.

Le reste m'est égal.

Interesting: #1: a Quebecois who could score at least 2 misspellings on a 13 words sentence and suggest I should "suck republicans who think like me". #4: a cybernoide from France who was able to spell more than 5 words in English, including "morons". In both case, the selfish, unrepentant and aggressive reaction to this banner is tragically revelatory of their moral vileness and is indeed a confirmation about the only option that's left for these people. Carry on gentlemen, carry on. And many thanks for making my point, once again.
Time to take sides

AC... indeed, just who would invade the USA? Let's put aside your cretinous argument that the United States is some sort of dictatorship... who on the planet has an army even capable of invading us? As for France... their invasion seems to be taking place from within.

"There are kids, women and men who won't end up buried dead or alive in the depths of mass graves. For that, and just for that, this war was right. As for the rest, I don't mind." Agree 100%!! I was not very much in favor of going into Iraq at first, for many reasons. However, as I learn of the attrocities the Iraqi people endured, while we just sat back and did nothing, I'm ashamed we didn't act sooner. Love this 'blog btw. I try and pop in and read it when I can. I'm very concerned about France and the stranglehold the unions have on the country. I hope you keep getting the word out to other blogs so we can be informed. Perhaps some pressure can be brought to bear, just by the publicity, that could help things out. If there is something people can do to help, please let us know. I hate watching France slowly commit suicide. I'd like to help, if there's anything that anyone can think of that would be helpful. (I'm in the US, btw.) Since it seems that a minority of people in France are causing problems for the majority, why not use the Net to connect the French citizens who *are* fed up with what's going on? You could exchange ideas and plot strategy about taking back your country. Thanks for such an informative blog, Chris J.

We know now that the U.S. and U.K. did the right thing. We don't know -- and may not know for a long time -- if we invaded Iraq for the right reason. But the important thing for all concerned is that we did the right thing, thank God!

Good conclusion, it is certainly THE POINT on which pro-war and ant-war (like me) could agree. as well about Valeri"s commnt : "

Saddam's regime was a WMD. All dictators' regimes are WMD.

Although I still do not agree with this war I can bring you here another positive result : Saddam's supported terrorist actions in Israel by important financial rewards to kamikazes families. Without this support, hopefully more Palestinians will support a peacefull solution (if possible). I stop here praising the "rival side" and carry on with a few questions : All about Saddam was already known during FIRST GULF WAR (You remember ? this with some little Frenchies here and there ?) WHY HELL this war was stopped half a way ? WHY HELL did we abandon l Kurdes and Chiites we called for insurection against Saddam ? We placed Iraq under control and sanctions which just limited his military capacities but let him free to kill massivly his own people DURING 12 YEARS. Why ??? I Cannot understand the American diplomatic action to get support on this war. They insisted about these famous WMD with some obvious lies and false documents and claming that whatever would be the (lack of) support. they would go at it. So crazy that it looks like the American government did not wish this support. Why ?? like jerseycityjoan, I don't know anything about the REAL REASONS but can't prevent to think about simple Géo-polytic. America does not need this oil but Europe, Asia and Africa does. Then, who rules in Iraq have a powerfull leverage on word economy. Now let's hope that the real work necessary to make this war profitable for Iraqi will be done. Let's hope success to this roadmap to peace between Israel and Palestine Should just one of these difficult task be performed, then, I will not tell that I am wrong (impossible) but for the least... change my mind. PS : Dissident Frogman, je me tape le cul parterre et la tête contre les murs en lisant les 99% de ce que tu ecris. Il reste néamoins 1% de chose que j'approuve et un site très bien foutu. Professionnellement, Bravo. @12c4 Pierre
