According to No Pasaran! When Le Monde wants to talk Iraq, they go to a Saddamite; click here.
When Le Monde decides to give a full-page article to a common citizen of Iraq, somebody whose opinion is supposed to reflect the general view in the street, whom does the independent newspaper choose? An Iraqi citizen who complains of the “atrocities” and the “atrocious war”, of course, who justifies the “resistance”, of course, who refuses to vote “out of principle”, of course (!), and who naturally wails that fear, “‘anxiety’, ‘trembling’, [and] ‘disgust’ … are my daily lot since that accursed night of March 20, 2003, and the beginning of the Americans’ war against my country.”
You can imagine the wailing, when she complains at length that her sons have been “traumitized” by the war, the removal of Saddam and those nasty Americans. When Le Monde wants a native opinion on the situation in Iraq, France’s socialist rag chooses a member, or a sympathizer, of the Ba’athist party!
As it turns out, the boys do not seem to be frightened of the GIs at all. Au contraire.
From the very first day of the conflict, in March 2003, Ahmed [10] and his friends started playing war, asking for soldier toys, machine guns, tanks, and planes. Ahmed often imitates the Americans. A weapon in his hands, he kicks doors open with his feet, shouting “Go! Go! Go!” He always takes the side of the GIs, their technology fascinates him. He is happy when Iraqis are killed.
Uh-oh. Incoming whopper (When you hear the word “logic”, you know you’re going to hear an example of moral relativism).
His cousins hold the same language, the same logic: that of the strongest. I try to explain that they are occupiers and that one must defend one’s country against occupiers, and to tell them the damage that this war has caused, there is nothing to do.
Well, see, of course, if Iraqis (kids or other) are not afraid of the Americans, then that, too, is something that… the Americans must be reproached for! And in impeccable (il)logic, if the kids are not traumatized, this in itself is cause for… traumatism!
Oh cut the crap frenchies. We know what side you’re on….as seen very clearly during the pictures at the end of the “Note to Frenchie” post…the communist side. Unfortunately, the Saddamites stand for everything the communists, previous to this conflict, were against…such as religious fundamentalism and racism. You can’t say they’re not consistent in their inconsistency,
The only thing I’ve been able to glean from all of this is that they’re at the top of the list of people who regularly self-contradict. Upon close examination, it makes even less sense than with a cursory glance. bwahahahaha!
That is all.

I wonder if Le Merde I mean Le Monde ever interviewed Ward Churchill for a typical American’s reaction to 9/11.
