The
Letter to France
How
dare the French say anything about the countries the don’t know at all. They
know nothing about our history. Some of them even don’t know where Poland is.
And they dare to call themselves the better ones. Keep your hands off
Poland.
Jak
śmieją Francuzi mówić cokolwiek o krajach, o których tak naprawdę nie mają
najmniejszego pojęcia. Nie znają naszej historii. Niektórzy z nich nawet nie
wiedzą gdzie znajduje się kraj zwany Polska. Łapy precz od
Polski.

!!!France
blackmails Poland!!!
How
dare the French attempt to blackmail the Poles — of all peoples. (And the Czechs
and Slovaks who they helped to sell out at Munich.)
Jak
śmieją Francuzi próbować szantażować Polaków, podobnie jak Czechów i Słowaków,
których zdradzili w Monachium
Many
Americans have mischaracterized the French recently. We have accused them of
being overly sophisticated, of using subtle, clever and high sounding language
to undercut us in the United Nations. We have accused them of being weak, and
appeasers by instinct. But this Monday in the European Union meeting M. Jacques
Chirac, the well-tailored-70-year old French president, proved us all wrong. He
revealed himself to be a vulgar, unsubtle, bullying thug. According to the
Associated Press, M. Chirac "launched a withering attack...on eastern European
nations who signed letters backing the U.S. position on Iraq . . ." He accused
them of acting irresponsibly by expressing their opinions. France, which can't
stop talking herself, would silence others who speak but rarely.
Dropping the normal
French circumlocutions, M. Chirac simply threatened Poland, Hungary, the Czech
Republic and others who had been invited to become — but had not yet been
formally confirmed as — members of the EU, that their words in opposition to
France's wishes were "dangerous" and risked their membership being blocked.
Romania and Bulgaria, who had expected to be invited to join the EU, were told
straight-out that they were "particularly irresponsible to sign the letter when
their position is really delicate. If they wanted to diminish their chances of
joining Europe they could not have found a better
way."
Adding hypocrisy to
thuggery, the French president lectured Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary
that they should have "a minimum of understanding for the others" in an
organization to which they would belong. This from a country that perversely
measures her own glory by her capacity to betray a friend and ally. Adding
cowardice to hypocrisy, President Chirac insisted on hurling his threats without
his target nations being present. According to the Associated Press report,
Britain, Spain and other EU nations had suggested that the candidate nations
attend the Monday emergency summit on Iraq, but France and Germany refused to
let them in. Then, with the representatives of Poland, Hungary and the other
countries safely barred from the conference, the heroic French President
unsheathed his verbal sword and smote his absent allies with economic blackmail
threats.
The list of countries
under the French whip is ironic: Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia,
Slovenia, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Romania and Bulgaria. All these countries
were on the wrong side of the Iron Curtain during the Age of Communism. They
were unlucky enough to be occupied by the Soviet Red Army in the closing months
of WWII, and thus lived in enforced slavery for a half-a-century. But geography
was destiny. France was occupied by American, British, Canadian and other
British Empire troops, and was thus saved from such a fate by their
English-speaking liberators. It is worth recalling that while French soldiers
were throwing down their rifles in 1940 as the Germans advanced, the flower of
Polish manhood charged into the invading Nazi tanks on horseback in the last and
most gallant cavalry charge in history. Of course, they were killed to the last
man. While the Poles were dying with their boots on, the French were living on
their knee-pads (during which, they cheerfully ferreted out and shipped their
French Jews off to the German death camps). How dare the French attempt to
blackmail the Poles — of all peoples. (And the Czechs and Slovaks who they
helped to sell out at Munich.)
If President Bush
publicly threatened economic sanctions against countries that didn't endorse our
Iraqi policy, there would be thousands of Frenchmen in the streets condemning
such blackmail — and rightly so. But when the president of France does so, not
only are there no demonstrators, there are barely any news accounts. This
outrage should be given much broader
coverage.
But perhaps, the
Frenchman who talks big but carries a small stick may be over-playing his little
hand. If France doesn't want to do business with the eastern Europeans, we
should invite them to join our free trade union. It would be an honor for us to
trade freely with peoples who know the value of freedom. And should, in time,
any of the current EU nations feel tainted by doing commerce with the French
blackmailer and coward, our trade door should be open to them, too.
If and when the French
people throw out their current government and elect one which respects its
neighbors and friends, we should certainly attempt to have useful and cordial
relations with that government. Until then, we should not only not seek their
support on Iraq. We should deny them the honor of joining in our cause. No
blackmailers should rally under freedom's banner. Tony
