No surprise here. All I want is Jacques Chirac brought up on chages of crimes against humanity through collaboration with Saddam Hussein.

Great point.

How about also charging him & France with waging a war of aggression for sending French troops into Ivory Coast? (Especially if the Euro-peaceniks go after Tony Blair.)

Unlike the U.S., which got UN resolution 1441 unanimously, the French did NOT even go to the UN. (Res. 1441 said "serious consequences" if Saddam does not disarm. Contrary to what the French think, "serious consequences" does NOT mean that we simply stop shipping him snails and truffles.)

Unlike the U.S. which has dozens of allies including UK, Australia, Poland, Kuwait, Spain, Portugal and Italy, among others, France went into the Ivory Coast without any allies.

The initial French mission may have been to rescue their citizens (and we can thank them for also rescuing some U.S. citizens). Howevever, they imposed a settlement in the civil war without UN approval and unilaterally.

Mee too. ...But I bet that he gets a Nobel Peace Prize instead.
