France May Help U.S. in Case of Chemical Warfare URL:http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,81471,00.html Tuesday, March 18, 2003 PARIS — The French military could help the United States if Iraq uses biological or chemical weapons against U.S.-led invaders, the French Foreign Ministry said Tuesday. France has led opposition to U.S. war plans in Iraq, but the Foreign Ministry said Iraqi use of biological or chemical weapons in a war could change France's position. "France would assess what measures of assistance to take in a spirit of friendship and solidarity," a ministry statement said. It gave no other details. France's ambassador to the United States made similar comments earlier on in a televised interview. Ambassador Jean-David Levitte also did not specify what kind of help France could offer, saying only, "We have equipment to fight in these circumstances."

...while Al Gore's national security adviser, Leon Fuerth, is doubtful that the U.S. is capable of installing a "democratic government in a place that has never known one." Just another condescending western attitude towards Arabs, and Muslim's. The fact is, Arabs and Muslim's have ben operating their societies through the consent of the people 1000 years before there was an America. The Saudi's still do this today, it just takes a different form than westerners are accustomed to seeing. IC
