Well, I think I will give regularly articles written in English about actualities here... Here is the first: an article which has intrigued me since it accuses France of being stupid (which, with our government, is not a novelty, but it's not very agreeable to hear it from foreigners... DUH !) because her line is to let the US take itself out of her own shit in Irak... www.spiegel.de/politik/ausland/0,1518,266162,00.html You can discuss about it in French threads if you wish, since we don't have many English-speakers yet... Here is the commentary of the webmaster of Idleworm about this article: "You see, don't you? The war is France's fault, not Bush's! A "real ultimatum" "might" have avoided a war (a war in search of WMDs that didn't really exist - ahem - just forget about that, ok?). What planet is this idiot living on? Please - someone - anyone! - take away his crayons before he writes more of this bilge." But I still do wonder... This man IS right when he says that it is our interest to interfere with the war, isn't he? And I would agree with him only on that very point... Would there not be a point at which reaching for solutions is far more important than looking for the guilty? I think we might have reached this point in Irak...

I quote the author of Idleworm : "2003 November 7, Friday. Some of the big tough men who've been crowing about the ''success'' in Iraq seem to be strangely reluctant to GO THERE. How very very odd. Day One In Iraq (http://www.centerforamericanprogress.org/site/pp.asp?cid=%7BE9245FE4-9A2B-43C7-A521-5D6FF2E06E03%7D&bin_id=%7BAF7C8CCD-7111-43C0-8274-0DC578471F5C) "The Defense Department invited 21 people to travel to Iraq from November 2 to 7 and told us that they would limit the delegation to 17. Of the original 21 invitees, only three of us accepted. Those who turned down the invitation included Fred Barnes, Jackson Diehl, William Safire and George Will. After they extended more invitations, eventually 10 people accepted." Stinking chickenshit scum. (Sorry about the expletive, but polite words simply fail at this point). These wankers should be put up against a wall and shot in the testicles." Have I already said that I just LOVE his way of seeing things ;D ;D ;D
