Bad blood between Greenpeace and France. Hard to know which one to root against, ain't it...? :)

Not surprising Mitterand didn't like Greenpeace
Communists are often not even rational environmentalists much less wacko extremist environmentalists. Look at the environment in eastern Europe.

The French government is one of the more brutal of the Western Democracies. Doesn't anyone find it odd that France is the first to "cover" for brutal dictators, and the last to stand up for the oppressed?

The sinking of the "Rainbow Warrior" (snicker), was the greatest French military victory since Napoleon.

France surely has had a week to be proud of, hasn't it? But at least their food tastes better that the Brits.

At least Mitterand was a member of the French Resistance during WWII.

Twenty years ago, two French secret service frogmen attached mines to the hull of a ship owned by the environmentalist group Greenpeace as it lay anchored in a New Zealand harbor, and the explosions ripped large holes in it.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

You would be taxed to even remotely back that claim with facts, buddy.
Here's a hint : look up what the late President Reagan said about Mitterrand, look up the story of "Farewell", a French mole in the USSR that the CIA was given access to, look up the tactics Mitterrand used against the French Communist Party throughout the 1980s, bringing it from 15% to less than 8% (and less than 3.5% today).

Is that what they call their SEALS?In French, underwater divers are called "les hommes-grenouilles," or "frog-men."
