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.
