chirac explains what the fight is all about...
in a speech in hanoi， chirac all but declares war on all that america stand for：
The journalist reports that the Vietnamense students in attendance were also shocked and could not believe their ears. Chirac directly accused the US of imposing a "generalized under-culture throughout the world." Chirac actually said: "We are fighting against the American theses, regarding culture, because if we followed them, then we would end up getting an under-culture throughout the world, which would be the worst thing. He added, "If there was only one language one culture, everything else would disappear and it would be a total ecological catastrophe."
it's probably appropriate to remind you of what the french prime minister， raffarin， recently said：
The head of the Figaro press group went to see him about the kidnapping of two French journalists in Iraq; Raffarin assured him they would soon be freed, reportedly saying, "The Iraqi insurgents are our best allies."
they are not against the war， they are on the other side。
