WHY NOW? BECAUSE IN 2003, JUST 2 YEARS AFTER THE WOLRD TRADE CENTER TRAGEDY, IT WAS FAR FROM EASY FOR THE FRENCH PRESIDENT TO SAY NO TO THE WAR.
USA WAS PUTTING PRESSURE ON EVERYBODY TO ATTACK IRAK, BUT IT’S PART OF THE FRENCH DNA TO EXPRESS WHATEVER THEY FEEL NO MATTER, IF PEOPLE AROUND WANT TO HEAR IT OR NOT.
French people have this reputation of being arrogant. Dominique devillepin had one of the most powerful SPEECH ever delivered. Sometimes you got to stand for what you think is right. That’s what makes FRANCE and FRENCH. That’s why people around the world can tell you in a minute, no matter what color, sex, religion you are…IF YOU'RE FRENCH..
