| Private group files complaints against Chirac |
| 2003-03-29 |
| Here's some news to cheer you up A conservative group filed complaints Friday against French President Jacques Chirac, demanding that international police investigate his alleged role in unlawful proliferation of nuclear technology and arms trafficking. Judicial Watch's complaints, which are based on news accounts, also allege violations by French officials, politicians and corporations of United Nations trade sanctions imposed against Iraq after the 1991 Gulf War and of the U.N. ''oil-for-food'' program. The complaints to the International Criminal Police Organization and the European Police Office reproduce a 1975 photo of Saddam Hussein then vice president of Iraq touring a nuclear power station in France with Chirac, France's prime minister at the time. ''French industry and business has aggressively and consistently pursued business opportunities with Saddam Hussein's Baathist Party-controlled industry and economy of Iraq, with the blessings and endorsement of the French government,'' the complaints stated.

| #3 yo Patriot: you guys seem to believe that disagreeing with the government means being "anti-American", but if you really believe in what democracy stands for, you would be able to allow citizens to actually disagree and then not be labeled unpatriotic. It's bad enough that this country is being run by an unelected president and his corporate buddies, but we can be grateful that it is not being run by the likes of Old Patriot. If it was up to you, all rights of citizens that don't agree with you would have to be "fumigated" as you say, especially the right of desent. Shame on you. |

| #2 I was struck by how many ways the current day smacks of the 30's, with european socialism/communism, especially in France and Spain, influenced the elites of Europe. Pacifism, socialism, environmentalism and nihilism have united with anti-Americanism to produce a particularly noxious brew. The tragedy is that intelligent people here think that a complaint filed with Interpol or the IACP will do something to Chirac. Better just to boycott French products, avoid tourism that benefits them, and keep a long memory. |

| #1 That's not to say that we shouldn't clean our own house first. There are far too many "hate-America-first" idiots on our own soil who have been allowed to do serious damage to our nation. Need a really thorough fumigation once the attack on Iraq (and ancillary actions) quieten down a bit. |
