French soldiers find corpses in Ivory Coast town cnn.com From the article: "I asked the French to come and see the dead. There is an entire neighborhood that was decimated. All the houses are full of bodies, only the imam escaped alive," he said. "There are more than 200 bodies, maybe 300. And there are more corpses in the bush," he told Reuters from Bangolo. A French army spokesman declined to say how many bodies the French saw when their detachment landed by helicopter in Bangolo on Saturday. He described the violence as "very visible." <=== This is success French style. On paper, in France, their Ivory Coast policy is a total success. Of course, like Iraq, it doesn't matter if the people of the Ivory Coast, or Iraq, are suffering badly. The Ivory Coast--- A great success for France AND the peaceniks. I can see all of the appeasers, on this thread, jumping up and down, for joy, over their great results in the Ivory Coast and Iraq.

1. Saddam's torture doesn't justify the US (or anyone else) doing it. Is this too complex a point? You seem to have missed it. To make it even clearer, if we're fighting a 'moral' war, a 'just' war... don't you see it's incumbent to do so? We're supposed to be better than him, that's the whole point. We don't get kudos because we don't use torture quite as much. 2. Admitting it doesn't make it better, either. There's no AA-group for torture - although what a picture... "Hey, my name's GWB. I'm turned on by torture and high-level bombing." "Well done, you've admitted your problem..." 3. Terming me a 'peacenik' may satisfy some personal need for you, but it's irrelevant and only makes you look like a mouthpiece without proper arguments and so forced to resort to abuse.
