Chirac calls for multilateralism, fresh efforts on Middle East

Chirac calls for multilateralism, fresh efforts on Middle East
LONDON Nov 18


President Jacques Chirac called Thursday for a new world order based on multilateralism and he appealed to the United States and Europe to "rally together" to promote peace in the Middle East.

Chirac warned that a world ruled by "the logic of power" was certain to be unstable and headed for conflict.

Chirac -- in London to mark the centenary of the entente cordiale, a diplomatic agreement ending centuries of warfare -- has been an outspoken critic of the decision by the United States, Britain and a handful of others to invade Iraq without UN approval.

Speaking to a foreign policy gathering, Chirac said a "sounder and fairer" international order would emerge through a collective approach, rather than a world based on might.

"Granted, it is still possible to organize the world based on a logic of power," Chirac said. "Yet experience has taught us that this type of organization is, by its very definition, unstable and sooner or later leads to crisis or conflict."

Chirac said the world community "must work together to revive multilateralism, a multilateralism based on a reformed and strengthened United Nations" -- an organization representing new balances in the world through the enlargment of both the permanent and non-permanent membership of the security council.

Chirac said the imperative of promoting peace in the Middle East was all the more urgent as a result of the death [from AIDS?] of the Palestinian leader, Yasser Arafat.

"Reviving the Middle East peace process is an absolute priority, which should rally Americans and Europeans together," he said, while also involving Russia and the United Nations, which also are co-sponsors of the so-called roadmap for peace in the region.

"The resolution of the Middle East conflict can no longer wait," Chirac said. Faced with a risk of chaos in the wake of Arafat's death, "the Palestinian leaders have opted for democracy. Let us support them in this."

Earlier in the day, he and Blair reiterated the need for a relaunch of Mideast negotiations, while the British leader stressed that "steps" back to the roadmap included Palestinian elections and the Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip.

On another key foreign policy question, Chirac lined up with Blair against the United States in strongly supporting the Kyoto protocol on reducing greenhouse emissions.

Saying they were determined to show leadership on the issue, they jointly stated "climate change is the world's greatest environmental challenge."

Did you read a lot of comics as a kid, where they bold a word or two in every sentence?

"to mark the centenary of the entente cordiale, a diplomatic agreement ending centuries of warfare"
Wasn't that same entente one of causes of WWI? If so, it is to be judged a miserable failure (just like France) and its centenary not worth much of marking.

Chirac is an absolute demon. It's no longer amusing in the slightest, the guy is just out to trash to USA and create havok in the world.

Chirac needs to put down the bottle of Chardonnay, and melt away into the forrest of irrelevance.
The guy is a crook, a champaign guzzling hob knobbling idiot who has put his own country into pearl, as well as caused an interruption in the effort to make the world a safer, more Democratic place. He's a traitor to both France and the world's people who want freedom and democracy. He's an evil man. One day MSM will wake up and show what this troll really is. More importantly, what good people there are left in France will.

Chirac is in bed with the Muslims to bring the US into line. The kyoto Protocal will bring us to our economic knees and they know it. Chirac is going to play the BIG MAN OF PEACE in the New World Order. Piece of crap France wants to lead the world down the path of Peace to it's total Corruption. Our Liberties will be gone!!

Time to get the Muskets down and get the bore cleaner out if you havn't already. Identify who is around you and think of your defensive options. CHirac is at the helm of the Ship of World Peace.

Chirac is a spineless pussy girlie-man, desparately looking for respect on the world stage. Chuck, how about some cheese with your whine.

I forget where I read it, but Chirac has to remain President or he will be indicted, tried and convicted of being not French enough, or something.

I am not kidding, he has to be President for fourteen more years to avoid serious French consequences.

Just imagine how horrible that must be.

A fate no doubt far worse than being Koffi Annan.

Chirac and most of Europe wants to "help" in the Middle East. I think their idea of success would end with them doing more business with the Arabs by telling Israel to go to hell.

As compared to a world ruled by greed, corruption, bribery.
Sometimes a little conflict is necessary for purposes of clarification.

You've hit the nail right on the head. Chirac is the western "spoksman" for the Islamic Mullah Mafia, corrupted to the core. What's worse is that he's dragging the whole of Europe with him. The corrupt UN is behind him 100%. all those so called UN members are corrupt Islamic warlords. Imagine, Sudan is the chair for human rights!!! Are people in this world so blind to not see what's going on?

Koyoto does not have a solution to gloobal warming. It's simply a transfer of wealth from North America to the east.
In fact, it will cause MORE pollution from those third world countries, It won't decrease any.

Has anyone noticed the flood of global warming movies and tv shows? What utter B.S.!!! The scripting is so bad, anyone with a brain can see through it, but unfortunately these movies and t.v. shows are targeted at young people who haven't developd their brains, and will reach voting age in the next few years.
We have to work hard at getting the truth out. There is no "global warming" and Koyoto is definatly NOT in anyway a solution to it. Instead, it's a power grab!

Moreover, it is an excuse to transfer power (in this case, environmental regulation) to international institutions like the UN.

This all gives us a little more insight to the uproar of the 2000 election. I believe the UN and the rest of the world Gangsters are in bed.

The AL Gore's and Clintonistas were going to lead us like a Judas Goat to our end, only in a Peacefull and Cooperative manner wiht our Allies. Where are we going now? Are the Socialist (Dems) and Republicans somehow connected?? I really hope not.

I don't even want to think that way, but I have to ask the question.

I can't remember where I read the figures, but if the usa endorsed Kyoto, it would give the UN a budget of 100 times the USA yearly GNP.

Can you just imagine what that kind of money in the hands of all these NGO's (Non- government organizations) that make up the UN's various branches can do?

The UN, besides the membership of all the worlds nations, is bursting at the seems with NGO's controlled by the worlds elite's, and organizations like Greenpeace.
We would be "governed" by un-elected and selected elitists. We would have the UN's new world "religion" which is earth worship, "gaia" the mother earth god, and the "earth charter" as our new bible. What's even more scary than that, is that the Islamic Mafia is ready to pounce through the UN to take complete control after the UN elite's do their work and make their dream come true.

When the UN had their Earth charter ceremony, carrying their "ark", a golden ark very similar to the biblical ark, to NY, it was the beginning of their mission to establish world order, world government, and a world religion.
Never EVER should the USA give up any sovereignty and independence for such an idiotic plan as this.

This sounds real tin foil hat, but it's not! The UN and it's society of elitsts have been working on this for a very long time. Here are some intersting links:

Earth Charter's "unholy ark"
http://www.crossroad.to/articles2/2002/ark.html

"...volunteers began walking with the Ark of Hope from Vermont to New York City, where it will be given to the United Nations.... It contains a copy of the Earth Charter.....

"The Earth Charter is a declaration of fundamental principles for building a just, sustainable, and peaceful global society in the 21st century. It is the product of a commission with representatives from every corner of the globe, including recognized world leaders such as Mikhail Gorbachev from Russia and ... Steven C. Rockefeller.... The drafting effort involved more than 100,000 people in 51 countries."


The UN Plan For Human Settlements (pro communist ideals)
http://www.crossroad.to/text/articles/hab2.html


Trading U.S. Rights for UN Rules
A report on President Clinton's Executive Order 13107:
http://www.crossroad.to/text/articles/turfur12-98.html

While Americans focused on more scintillating news, President Clinton quietly signed a new executive order titled "The Implementation of Human Rights Treaties." The media ignored it and our leaders didn't tell us. Yet we will pay the cost -- in freedom as well as dollars -- for the creation of a massive government bureaucracy to promote, monitor, and enforce compliance with human rights regulations mandated by the United Nations. Remember, this governing body shows only contempt for biblical values, American sovereignty, and the U.S. Constitution.

UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (scary stuff in there, read carefully) An example of one of the many UN NGO's dictating world law to YOU! Thanks to Clinton these laws and future rulings can supercede American laws.

And so much more if you follow the links.

If it wasn't for the possibility of being exposed to AIDS, I'd tell Chirac to bite my beefy butt.

LoL!

Chirac is just a puppet, part of a bigger evil.
The ACLU like's him, have no doubt about it. I have a feeling the ACLU gets alot of "charitable donations" from the same club Chirac Belongs to(UN elitists). The mission ACLU has, fits in with UN plans. Bush on the otherhand, supports Christian values, and has a strong following for the maintainance of them, and for the Nation to continue to be guided by them. This above all is the real threat of Bush to these globalists.
Christianity is also contrary to the ideals of UNESCO, and of course ACLU.

Declaration of Principles on Tolerance:
http://www.unesco.org/tolerance/declaeng.htm

Since "intolerance is a global threat," it calls for the rejection of dogmatism and absolutism.(Bible?) One wonders why the ACLU does'nt go after the Koran? That's far more a lucrative "goldmine" of intolerance and hatred, backward ideals, opression and discrimination.

But, what's under attack is Chritianity, and it's obvious more now than it has ever been, world wide.
It's an absolute shame what Chirac has done to the true culture of France, where some of the most beautiful reminders of Christianity exist. Where they world finally shook off the tyrants, and united Europe under God's grace.

I should add that we shouldn't be surprised at the current unrest in the world. The Bible tells us to prepare for a world government that would persecute all who refuse to conform to its ideology and group thinking. Since Biblical Christianity is incompatible with the UN's global "spirituality", Christians had better prepare to face persecution even in America.

Long ago, God showed us what to expect in this post-Christian era: "But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God. From such people turn away!"

Separatism from the UN vision is intolerable to the UN. To "turn away" would violate its vision of social solidarity. The rest of the above passage continues with this warning:

"...all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. But you must continue in the things which you have learned..." (2 Timothy 3:1-5,12-14)

I always am facinated with the Bible and how it so acurately predicts our future. How so many people can just toss it aside and call it hogwash is sad. it's never been wrong yet! That in itself should attract the curious to it's written word.
