France goes to war in West Africa?
 

Looks like France is about to go to war without being able to blame it on the United States:

ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast - French troops clashed with soldiers and angry mobs Saturday after Ivory Coast warplanes killed at least nine French peacekeepers and an American civilian in an airstrike ? mayhem that threatened to draw foreign troops deeper into the West African country's escalating civil war.

Your president is Evil! Why are you going to hurt those poor African people? You are a sick country. Why did you elect such an evil man? You people must be idiots.

I bet people are going to post blaming this on the United States and Bush too...

Now the big question is.......how long until the French surrender?

I'm sure they can hold out at least 24 hours :1orglaugh

Like clock work.. see the post above yours.

:1orglaugh

No shit. Three big jigs with sticks is about all that's needed.

Well france is almost %50 muslim as it is now imagine how easy it would be for the to overthrow the government...

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

It took a sec to see it. I believe that was some good ol' sarcasm. Much props!

Before people start saying that to France, first the French will have to invade Uruguay because of this conflict.

We'll have to come fight their battle like in Vietnam

This didn't make much sense to me:

So the UN says "stop military action", but you can use all necessary means to carry out your mandate.

huh?

What if they just claim that military action is necessary to carry out their mandate?

this may be a reason

the world is just letting sudan happen.

interesting.

Good and accurate too!

yup

Of course they are. No oil for the US to care, and if the US won't carry the majority of the burden, the world won't do anything. :2 cents:

China and Saudi Arabia have pending oil contracts there.

This is another Uganda situation.

The US will help and it'll be over in a few days.

war makes the population go down a bit thats agood thing

i cuncur

:321GFY French scum

If that's the case, war is needed much more in China, India, and the US. The three largest populated nations on earth.

Nobody needs to control the population of Africa. 1/3 of the population HIV+ and the entire continent on it's way to bankruptcy. No, I'd say Africa is keeping it's own population down.

they are not killing French peace keepers, until then it's every man for him self

Exactly. It's already one of the least populated continents (if not the smallest) and sadly I can only see it dwindling substantially all on its own in the years to come.

Africa will be a barren wasteland soon enough. Soon to be followed by the Middle East but only after all the oil is gone. :2 cents:

France has an Army???



No fucking way:1orglaugh :1orglaugh Get out of here.

Yes, the west has raped the third world.

And so as it always has been, the strong will survive. :2 cents:

this is not the us its france and africa

So you don't mind if a gang of thugs and I beat down your door, kill you and you family and steal all your shit?

Great! Be seeing you soon!

:thumbsup

Remember, the strong survive!

I didn't say I didn't mind, I just said that's how it is.

You don't know anything about me. You don't know if you and a group of thugs are capable of killing me and taking my things.

Let me apply an equal amount of fantasy to my argument:

So you donj't mind if my magic wizard answers the door and turns you and your thugs in to peanuts?

Joe, good luck trying to go through nearly 250 lbs of angry rotti trying to get at WC :)



Besides, he has a level 50 dragon guarding the front door!

And a pissed off magic wizard too!

You missed the point.

Let's just say I managed to kill you and your family and stole all your shit, just because I wanted or needed it.

Do you think that would be wrong?

Or would it be cool because, you know, only the strong survive?

Again, I didn't say it was right or good. I just said that's the way it is.

I fail to see how a hypothetical situation involving just a few people has any bearing on what is the natural order of the Earth? It's repeated over and over in the Animal Kingdom. Including animals that share most of our own DNA. I have no faith in Mankind's goodness. Man is a selfish creature by nature. It's the rule, not the exception.

I guess what I'm saying is that if a bunch of thugs kicked down my door right now and were able to kill me and rob me, I wouldn't be surprised that it happened. Man is a brutal. :2 cents:

So it is wrong or right?

Ideally, it's wrong. I believe it's deeply rooted in basic human greed. The nature of man is to have an abundance for himself regardless if it creates a shortage for another.

Sure we form social and family groups, but I believe there are very few truley selfless people in this world.

Believe it or not.. the French actually have won battles before!
