ACDN MEDIA RELEASE

A head of state suspended on a wire to affirm his male determination to incinerate millions of people in a distant country one day, if ever his conscience (superior to all others) should judge that action useful or necessary to the “vital interests” of, well, nobody identifiable - that was the President choppered onto a sub, that was France talking thunder. Tremble, ye puny mortals, at my M51 missiles!

The same head of state, obeying the urgings of the AREVA corporation, deletes with a pen-stroke the contract his party had signed. Then in Chicago he bows to the demands of the great American brother, conceding that he may build an antimissile shield over Europe and rejecting the withdrawal of atom bombs from European countries, our allies, who no longer tolerate them. Then he dismisses a female minister with strong views, without even daring to inform her, because she displeased a multinational oil company. And then he welcomes under the gilded roofs of his palace an African leader, the son of an African leader, because the guy has uranium in his suitcases, and goods suspected of being ill-gotten, and contracts that are or are said to be juicy - despite his Prime Minister saying the previous day “With French Africa, the old policies are finished”.

Such is France: a banana republic giving herself the airs of a diva on the basis of what she considers a vestige of past splendour, and why? Because the strike force in question has cost 300 billion Euros and serves no purpose whatsoever - except to block any negotiations that could enable us to abolish nuclear weapons and to live in a world that is significantly less threatening, significantly more convivial, and significantly more human.
