Mr. Chirac fought the same culture and system as a French soldier in Lebanon, he isn't unaware of the quagmires and rues of the enemy. France was in Viet Nam and decided NOT to make it a win or loose all place to engage troops. Wisdom begs us to ask, WHAT IS RIGHT?, not WHO is right?.
Nuke France!!!
Ho Chi Minh wasn't paying $25,000 to the family of every suicide bomber for the destruction of innocents in Saigon, nor was he paying off Chirac's cronies. I'd ask Wisdom the same question, WHAT IS RIGHT?
