Special edition of The Sun in Paris today
DEAR citizens of France, here is another message for you from The Sun newspaper in London, which is read by ten million British people every day. Yesterday, your Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin made an official complaint to Britain about strong language used in the British Parliament to condemn France's betrayal of the international community over Iraq.
| "You ain't seen nuttin' yet..." |
We at The Sun think that M Villepin was foolish to make his complaint. The whole civilised world, not just Britain, is disgusted with the way France's president and politicians have behaved over the Iraq crisis. Last month we accused your president, Jacques Chirac, of behaving like a worm in the way he was obstructing attempts to force Saddam Hussein to disarm. Today we say this to the people of France: We did not go far enough. Your president is not just a worm. He has behaved like a Paris harlot.
| "You know, the ones with the pudgy hips and the pot bellies, that smell funny..." |
Everyone knows that once the brave Allies have risked their lives liberating Iraq, Chirac will be first in line sniffing for lucrative business deals to rebuild this tragic nation. Yesterday M Villepin said the comments about France in the British Parliament were "not worthy" of a friend and ally. But how can we be friends and allies when your politicians act purely out of self-interest?- Was it WORTHY of your government to wreck last-minute attempts in the United Nations for a second resolution on Iraq?
- Was it WORTHY of your government to have been so involved in building Iraq's military installations?
- Was it WORTHY of your government to forget how thousands of brave Americans laid down their lives so the French people could be free of a dictator's tyranny?
Today, brave men and women are again risking their lives in war against a tyrant. But the French are nowhere to be seen. President Chirac has let you and your nation down. You must be deeply ashamed of him. |
