JPost: French FM: Iraq war led to a more dangerous world
"This is a belief that I have never stopped expressing," Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin told Le Monde newspaper in an interview in its Friday edition.
"We have to look reality in the face: We have entered into a more dangerous and unstable world, which requires the mobilization of the entire international community," de Villepin said.
Assertions by the administration of US President George W. Bush that ousting Saddam would make the world a safer place proved not to be true, de Villepin said.
"Terrorism didn't exist in Iraq before," de Villepin said. "Today, it is one of the world's principal sources of world terrorism."
De Villepin called again on the United States to respect a June 30 deadline for the Americans to hand over power to the Iraqis.
Dear Mr. De Villepin,
It has come to our attention that you believe that Iraq is "one of the world's principal sources of world terrorism." Should you have some information that international terrorists are operating out of, or planning operations from somewhere in the territory of Iraq, would you please forward the proof of same to us so that we may take immediate and appropriate action?
Should you have no such proof, would you STFU s'il vous plait?
Domo,
L. Paul Bremer
Of course the French don't believe there were any international terrorists in Iraq before the war, after all, they were on the same side then.

Amazing, isn't it?
There was no terrorism in the Soviet Union either, just ask the NY Times.
If Saddam kills all his own people and rapes them but it doesn't effect CNN's ability to get plump interviews nor effect France's oil companies' ability to get prime Oil contracts due to US and British trade sanctions, and the UN is quietly able to steal billions in graft and bribery money and the US is able to be blamed pre war for the suffering of Iraqis then there is NO TERRORISM.
NOTE, Iraqis "starving" and suffering was of course due to US trade sanctions as the UN's lefitst pro "peace" friends kept telling us, as well as the Washington Post and NY Times.
