French Policy: A French-Arab Alliance?
“Mass-Hysteria Time
Following Black Tuesday –Nov. 2–Europe goes nuts” by David Pryce-Jones, from
the November 29 print National Review says
A long-term policy is coming to a head. When the Soviet Union began to fail 20
years ago, France saw an opportunity to replace it in the Middle East.
Supposedly the Europeans and the Arabs were to come together in
a bloc, a
superpower to counter the United States. As a means to this
end, Chirac was
always glad to give unconditional support to Saddam Hussein.
This theory fits all the facts. Has it been overtly stated by French politicians
or intellectuals?
