As I have said, both are unnecessary, as the state should not invent wars to solve legitimate problems. (If solving problems is even its intent in the first place.) Rather, it should fight its enemies---its legitimate enemies---through more just means.

Wow. You remind me of a left-French version of Emprworm.

I think I've worked hard to dispel the myth that a nation's mistakes in the past do not invalidate the nation's future. If you want to say that America has no right to go into Iraq because America helped out Saddam in the past, that is like saying that Germany has no right to be anti-war because it started the last World War. Now, I'm not saying the war was right, but saying the war was wrong for that reason does not make sense. A nation must have the opportunity to correct its mistakes.

Now, if you want to condemn America for things it did in the past; fine. But your governments did not.

WHO SET UP VIETNAM AND HAD THE US FIGHT THE WAR FOR THEM?

France !

WHO COLONIZED HALF OF AFRICA AND LEFT IT THE POOREST, LEAST DEVELOPED PART OF THE WORLD?

France !

WHO HELPED THE UK INVADE THE SUEZ WITHOUT A UN MANDATE?

France !

At this point, I hope you can see that every nation has its share of blame. Every nation has done things that its not proud of, and were not justified. What's wrong is to say that nations, TODAY, must be condemnded for these things. That is wrong because it condemns a generation of people that DID NOT commit those deeds! It is illogical, because the people you are condemning are not the people who did what you are condemning them for, and it is immoral, because you condmen those who are essentially innocent of the crime you accuse them of. Which administrations left Saddam in power? Bush Sr. and Clinton -- not Bush Jr.

I hope, now, that people will focus their efforts on meaningful objections to the war rather than objections which 1) have neither a logical nor moral justification, and 2) do more to incite the other side against them than make an argument.

Still afflicted, I was irritated!  Too much irritated for saying serious things!

Once again, forgiveness with all the Americans! I love American people, but not their system ! ;D

Let us not forget that France is the last country to have stopped its nuclear tests, or that it had been interdict for 30 years! 

Let us not forget the hipocrisy with respect to China, has to accomodate them as kings (I speak about controlling) and not to invite one of the principal defenders of the humans right (who was persecuted by the Chinese government) do not forget also the friendships with Algerian businessmen and Boucharraf!

I say:  France is one of the most cheating countries of the world!
