And the French Claim to Be Our Allies....
HANOI - French President Jacques Chirac warned Thursday of a “catastrophe” for global diversity if the United States’ cultural hegemony goes unchallenged.
Speaking at a French cultural center in Hanoi ahead of Friday’s opening of a summit of European and Asian leaders, Chirac said France was right to stand up for cultural and linguistic diversity.
The outspoken French president warned that the world’s different cultures could be “choked” by US values.
This is from the leader of a country who gleefully screwed the Iraqi people, depriving women and children of food so they could make themselves and Saddam rich, who used their influence to keep the Oil for Food program going as long as possible lest they kill the cash cow while children were put in prison and the bodies in mass graves just kept piling up, a country that believes that freedom of religion is freedom from religion - I know I don't want any of THEIR values!
