Where's the UN?

The UN backs them fully. From this article:

http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/africa/11/07/ivory.coast/index.html

Meeting in emergency session Saturday, the U.N. Security Council condemned the initial attack on French forces and called for the "immediate cessation" of military operations in accordance with a May cease-fire agreement.

The council authorized French and other peacekeepers to use "all necessary means" to stop the fighting.

U.S. ambassador to the U.N. John Danforth said the council understands that "France is clearly going to defend French troops and French citizens that are under attack."



I hope that clears things up.

Isn't it time for the European left to boycott French goods, demonstrate outside French embassies and refuse French athletes to take part in European sports events?

I will not hold my breath.

French War Crimes usually involve tanks backing over children as they withdraw.

I was just wondering where the international outrage is? If we were within a 100 miles of this it would have been on every major new outlet in the world......what a bunch of hypocrites.

FRENCH KILLED IVORIAN CIVILIANS...

Do you think the F. are trying to draw us into war on another front? Let the UN handle this, but too bad for the Ivory Coastians!

Time to lament over the cycle of violence and engage in some moral equivalence and cultural relativism. Oh the horrible assymetry of it all !!!

Did they get permission from the UN, and did this slaughter of innocents pass Kerry's Global test.

GW should send Kerry over to investigate this for a couple of years.
