| Free the French Colonies |
| 2003-02-09 |
| OK, these are not news and comments, but no one speaks about this so please read and tell me if it is not interesting: The United Nations are violating their Charter because they do support and/or ignore the existence of a French Empire that violates the right of People to self determination. France has colonies in Southern America, that is French Guyana Pacific Area, that is:New Caledonia and French Polynesia All these colonies and other small islands and territories all over the world are called by France DOM/TOM, Departments and Territories Overseas. This is just an elegant name for COLONIES. Moreover, France keeps troops, without any U.N. mandate, in many Countries in Africa, not only in the Ivory Coast. These troops protect the large French interests in the COTTON production in Africa. The Countries of Africa compelled by France to produce low cost cotton are not allowed to diversify their sources of income and are not allowed to produce even the food needed for their own inhabitants. No other Country in the world is allowed to such an old fashioned style of IMPERIALISM. The point here is not to answer angrily to the French weasels politics, the point is to ask to the U.N. to abolish immediately the French Empire, free the peoples subject to the French Imperialism. Why the U.S.A. does not propose this to the Security Council TOMORROW morning? |

| #3 Don't shoot me! I just took a more liberal (and unrealistic) interpretation of a Den Beste post from recently where he describes all the ways that France, if their back was to the wall, would intervene against us. I also made no claims about the efficacy of the French military...without laughing uncontrollably. |

| #2 A FRANCO-American conflict? A Franco-AMERICAN conflict? As in shooting? With guns? That's a pretty funny idea. How about the first Americans to land on the French coast give the French army a .38 caliber stern look? Bring a big table and chairs with you so you're comfortable when you sit down to dictate terms of surrender, on the beach. A nice umbrella table, if this happens in the summer. |

| #1 At what cost? The French economy is in the toilet. The oil shock from this war will push them over. Then you'll have angry, anti-American Frenchies changing their worthless Euros for bread in lengthy lines...Just remember that imperialism=>statism=>fascism and somewhere in that mix will be a Franco-American conflict a little more serious then screwing us over at the UN... |
