Yes they did, they invaded Kuwait, and have failed to demonstrate a change in their ways. Their next attack should be prevented, not encouraged by the french "peace through surrender" method.
Anyway, the French will get theirs, they have embraced islamofascism with open arms, and before they know it they will be cowering under their new boss like they did under hitler. This time we shouldn't bother to liberate them.
California wine is better, anyway, as is Wisconsin cheese...

French people are not the stupid blind nationalists that your propaganda is pretending they are.
100,000 Albanians buried in mass graves.
I've been trying to get this sentiment worked into a discussion. There is no near term solution at this point. USA under Clintons screwed up bigtime, they are criminals and the rest of the world knows it. As a nation, we let them walk.
Can't prosecute them now. Would divert attention away from WOT and damage existing relations further. This is by no means W's fault. The only way out is to let G.W.B's integrity work into their mindset. But that may not work. We lost their trust. God what a mess the Clinton's made!
Best to forget about it, unless someone has a better idea.
Pour la guerre n'est pas pour des lâches
et la justice est pour des theives.
And why do you think it worked for 50 years? Please don't give me anything about "foreign policy doctrine". WHAT about foreign policy, or lack of it, kept the peace for 50 years?
AND if things were as you'd like them now, are you saying that if we just promise not to pre-emptively attack anybody that these "dozen" countries you mention that have WMD are just going to leave us alone?
"J'accuse", 1898: Zola published concerning the Dreyfus affair-that of a Jewish French army officer whose trial for treason began a 12 year controversy that deeply marked the political and social history of the period - a fierce denunciation of the French general staff in the newspaper L'Aurore. It took the form of an open letter defending the innocence of Dreyfus.
Welcome to FR. Lurk a while and ask questions, you may surprised what you will learn. Hopefully the French will come their senses soon; before her capitol becomes Parisistan.
La bienvenue à l'ARMATURE menacent un moment et posent des questions, vous peut a étonné ce que vous apprendrez. Si tout va bien le Français viendra leurs sens bientôt; avant son capitol devient Parisistan.
If Iraq enjoyed a free press, free speech, and freedom of association, and the USA threatened her; there could be a moral unjust war argument. But that is not the case with Iraq. There is no frame of reference, by western standards of civilization, for comparing Iraq. For the controlled Iraqi press, even a Holy Bible requires an image of Saddam Hussein. You did know that. Right?
De si l'Irak appréciait une pression libre, un discours libre, et une liberté association, et les Etats-Unis l'ont menacée; il a pu y a un argument injuste moral de guerre. Mais ce n'est pas le cas avec l'Irak. Il n'y a aucune armature de la référence, par des normes occidentales de civilisation, pour comparer l'Irak. Pour la pression irakienne commandée, même une bible sainte exige une image de Saddam Hussein. Vous avez su cela. Droite?
An ostrich like stance on Iraq will not make Saddam go away, or behave. Sanctions were violated, inspections thwarted, while a new paradigm of warfare emerged: state sponsored terrorism. We're not talking about a cowardly attack upon an unarmed peace protester's ship here. You do understand that an Embassy is an extension of home soil?
Une autruche comme la position sur l'Irak ne fera pas Saddam partir, ou comportez-vous. Des sanctions ont été violées, des inspections contrecarrées, alors qu'un nouveau paradigme de la guerre émergeait: l'état a commandité le terrorisme. Nous ne parlons pas d'une attaque lâche sur le bateau d'un protestataire unarmed de paix ici. Vous comprenez qu'une ambassade est une prolongation du sol à la maison?
Laurie Mylroie, President Clinton's advisor on Iraq, in her book Study of Revenge: The First World Trade Center Attack and Saddam Husseins War Against America, leaves little doubt the first WTC attack and US Embassy bombings were Iraqi state sponsored terrorist acts. Mylroie also makes a good case the 9/11 attack was too. Iraq trains terrorist, harbors terrorists, and funds terrorist acts too. With that in mind, a war against state sponsored terrorism is an unjust war?
Laurie Mylroie, conseiller du Président Clinton's sur l'Irak, dans sa étude de livre de vengeance: La premières attaque de centre commercial mondial et guerre de Saddam Hussein?s contre l'Amérique, laisse peu à doute la première attaque de WTC et les bombardements d'ambassade des USA étaient des actes de terroriste commandités par état irakien. Mylroie fait également un bon cas que l'attaque de 9/11 était aussi. L'Irak forme le terroriste, terroristes de ports, et place des actes de terroriste aussi. Avec cela à l'esprit, une guerre contre le terrorisme commandité par état est une guerre injuste?
The horrific cruelty of Saddam is beyond belief. Former UNSCOM inspector, and now peace activist Scott Ritter, described an Iraqi childrens political prison. Ritter asserts in a Time Magazine story if we knew what went on in that childrens prison, even the peaceniks would demand war with Iraq. Freeing the Iraqi children from this brutal repression is somehow unjust?
La cruauté terrifiante de Saddam est au delà de croyance. L'ancien inspecteur d'UNSCOM, et maintenant l'activiste Scott Ritter de paix, ont décrit une prison politique de children?s irakiens. Ritter affirme dans une histoire de magazine de temps si nous savions ce qui a continué du fait la prison de children?s, même les peaceniks exigerait la guerre avec l'Irak. Libérer les enfants irakiens de cette répression brutale est de façon ou d'autre injuste?
This Gulf War Veteran disagrees with the foolish imbeciles of France. Either France is with us, or she is against us. There is little doubt why my ancestors left the "axis of weasel" for the New World.
Ce vétéran de la guerre du Golfe est en désaccord avec les imbeciles idiots de la France. Ou la France est avec nous, ou elle est contre nous. Il y a peu doute pourquoi mes ancêtres ont laissé l'"axe du weasel" pour le nouveau monde.
The Iraqi people have suffered long enough. It is time to liberate the Iraqi people.
Les irakiens ont souffert assez longtemps. Il est temps de libérer les irakiens.
