Some French Oppose Chirac's Effort 'to Save a Tyrant'

Not all Frenchmen are cowardly, America-hating quislings like President Jacques Chirac. Members of his own party are starting to oppose his unilateralist mania to save his business ally Saddam Hussein.

"We have taken into account the concern about not uselessly breaking relations with the United States. We are not going to get to the point of getting into an argument with Western democracies," Jacques Barrot, parliamentary head of the ruling UMP party, says in today's edition of Le Monde.

France has "avoided committing a mistake, which some are pushing for, that would have left it isolated: wrongly brandishing its right of veto," UMP President Alain Juppe told parliament Wednesday.

Influential pro-American UMP lawmaker Pierre Lellouche told French radio, "We are not going to shoot them [Americans] in the back."

"A veto is unimaginable," UMP lawmaker Claude Goasguen told Le Monde. "We are not going to break the United Nations and Europe just to save a tyrant."

Goasguen was apparently referring to Hussein, not Chirac.

Dear Prolife: Hillary Clinton represents what is WRONG with American Politics today. She is TRYING to make POLITICAL HAY over a very difficult and complicated decision ultimately effecting the lives and fortunes of all Free Peoples of the World, especially Americans. Her, Daschle and a few others in my opinion have such CONTEMPTIBLE behavior that they do not deserve the positions they have acquired in our Government. I just hope the people that elect them wake up some day and smell the roses. jdn
