GW's reaction to Arafat's death
Submitted by js on December 11, 2004 - 8:01am.I don't know what coverage the US News and Press gave Mr. Bush's reaction to Arafat's death, but news programs in Europe showed that film from when Mr. Bush was first told about it (at a new conference) and showed it many times. Reporter: "Mr. Bush, Arafat is dead". Response from Mr. Bush "Good". Unfortunately that sort of comment sends a very clear indication as to the sort of person the US has a president.
Mr. Bush seems to have no concern about what the world (outside the US) thinks of him. The rest of the world is of secondary importance. I think it a naive view as Americas prosperity is dependant on the rest of the world and vice versa.

France love and hate.
Submitted by shrewd on November 3, 2004 - 2:38pm.After being served up defeat I want to tell the French. Keep doing what you are doing. America is shifting conservative greater than I would have ever thought and the world will need as many moderate voices as it can get with the US pushing its conservative agenda.
I do have one small comment though on the "hate" side. Thanks for nothing when it came to your Presidents support for Kerry, it could have been the deciding factor, but who knows.
God help us all.

And the words of comrade Iossif Vissarionovitch echo in my head : 2,000 dead is a tragedy. 2,000,000 dead is statistics.

Why is France opposing UN sanctions with Sudan?
Submitted by Kermit on July 8, 2004 - 10:09am.http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/3875277.stm
France says it does not support US plans for international sanctions on Sudan if violence continues in Darfur.
The UN Security Council is debating a US draft resolution imposing sanctions on militias accused of "ethnic cleansing" against non-Arabs. The US also hinted that the sanctions could be extended to the government. Meanwhile, African leaders have urged Khartoum to stop bombing Darfur and say their proposed 300-strong force will have a mandate to protect civilians. US Secretary of State Colin Powell says promises to reign in the pro-government militia, known as the Janjaweed, have not been kept by Khartoum so far. "Only action not words can win the race against death in Darfur," he said.
