Precisely.

Your post *nails* the French double standard. When it was Chirac urging on a war against the Serbs, the media was silent about a lack of UN approval.

But now today, the French insist that the U.S. gain UN approval for waging war on Iraq.

And while the media is clearly not silent about the new French demand for UN approval, it is still silent about the French double-standard for war...

It's not only the French. Did Germany or any other NATO country urge Clinton to get UN support for the Kosovo war? A day or two after the bombing started, the BBC reported that Kofi Annan gave his "conditional" support for this non-UN backed war.

>Your post *nails* the French double standard....

You're missing the point.
There is no "double standard."
There are no standards!

Modern politics
is about people doing
what they want to do

by any means there.
It's about managed "assets."
(That is, media.)

To think "principles"
or "history" or "values"
is to live a dream.

The only people
who try to live out dogma
are the terrorists

who've made fringe Islam
their defining principles.
When the terrorists

are crushed, the whole world
will be defined by the whims
of the suits in charge.
