It's because the French are more sophisticated, don't you know.
David,
As of 14 December 1995 (tête-à-tête in Paris), Jacques The Crook of France mentioned to Bill The (What?) of the USA that French intelligence were seriously contemplating the assassination of both Radovan Karadzic & Ratko Mladic as Dayton agreements were being signed.
The consideration surely wasn't very moral, or was it?
I have a suspicion that french attitude in this, as in so many other similar situations, derives from them not wanting their own dirty dealings aired in public.
Kodiak: Well they didn't contemplate it hard enough, obviously, as instead they decided to give them a safe haven in Bosnia.
It is never wrong to kill tyrants.
I would only point out that saying something is "hearsay" is not exactly the same thing as saying it isn't true. Hearsay refers to second-hand information, which can be perfectly accurate.
VIVE LA FRANCE !
VIVE LA REPUBLIQUE !
VIVE L'EUROPE !
VIVE LA PLANETE !
VIVE LA LIBERTE !
I whish you all the merriest July 14 ever.
