Chirac Condones 2nd Holocaust and Iranian Hiroshima
Feb. 2, 2007 -- President Chirac of France has made unbelievably imprudent remarks dismissing the seriousness of Iran's acquiring and launching nuclear weapons against Israel, as reported in “Chirac Strays From Assailing a Nuclear Iran,” New York Times, Jan. 31, 2007.
Mr. Chirac turns a blind eye to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, today's Hitler, who has publicly declared his explicit intention to destroy Israel.
Iran and the Moslem world have stated that they could absorb nuclear destruction of some of their cities as long as Israel is destroyed. What deterrent has assured nuclear destruction against such jihadist plans?
Ignoring Iran’s declared jihadist intentions is for France to condone both a 2nd Holocaust for the Jews and a Hiroshima for the Iranians. And with Iran developing long range missiles, how will France escape?
We petition President Chirac to redress this grievous false impression that he has given Iran.
