We grow weary of les pipsqueaks. (Scan).(United States' relations with France)(Brief Article)
As the nation mulls its next target in the war on terrorism, it's time to consider another Petri dish of ferocious anti-American hatred and terrorist activity: We've got to attack France.
Having exhausted itself in a spirited fight with the Nazis in the last war, France cannot now work up the energy to oppose terrorism. France has nurtured, coddled, and funded Islamic terrorists for decades. Five years after Muslim terrorists assassinated 11 Israeli athletes and one German policeman at the 1972 Olympics, French counterespionage agents acting on intelligence from Israeli police arrested the reputed mastermind of the massacre, Abu Daoud. Both Israel and West Germany sought the extradition of Daoud. But afraid of upsetting Muslim terrorists, France refused on technical grounds and set him free.
In 1986, Libyan agents of Muammar Qaddafi planted a bomb in a West Berlin discotheque, killing an American serviceman and a Turkish woman. Hundreds more were injured. President Reagan retaliated with air strikes against Libyan military targets--including Qaddafi's living quarters. Quaking in the face of this show of manly force, France denied America the use of its airspace. As a consequence, American pilots were required to begin their missions from airbases in Britain and to fly far around the borders of France. When the pilots finally made it to Tripoli, tired from the long flights, they bombed the French embassy by mistake. So sorry!
France has repeatedly decried economic sanctions against Iraq and has accused the United Nations (the U.N.! not the Great Satan U.S.) of manufacturing evidence against Saddam Hussein. The French U.N. ambassador dismissed aerial photographs of Iraqi military trucks fleeing inspection sites just before U.N. weapons inspectors arrived as "perhaps a truckers' picnic."
Earlier this year France connived with human-rights champions China and Cuba to toss the United States off the U.N. Human Rights Commission. Sudan took America's place, and if its diplomats are not too bogged down with torture and slave trading, they are very much looking forward to attending the meetings.
