Syria Accountability Act - time for a French one?

Could Chirac snubs Bush's Nato request be linked to French support for Syria?

The American Thinker thinks so.

It is then not surprising that Chirac invited Nasrallah, the leader of the terrorist organization Hezbollah, to attend the Francophone Summit in Beirut in October 2002. Hezbollah, like other terrorist networks such as Hamas and Islamic Jihad to name just a few, have their headquarters in Damascus, Syria. Nasrallah, in an interview to Syrian TV in June 2002, praised Syria for “remaining a safe haven for Jihad.” Since Bashar Assad took power in 2000, Syria’s implication in and direct aid to Hezbollah has dramatically increased.

Before September 11, 2001, Hezbollah was the organization which had killed the most Americans throughout the world. To assess Hezbollah’s power and evil, let’s just quote Richard Armitage, US Deputy Secretary of State, who declared on September 5, 2002 that, “ Hezbollah may be the A-team of terrorists. While Al Qaeda may actually be the B-team.”

Hezbollah’s goals are clear and can be summed up through this Nasrallah statement in March 2003: “Death to America was, is and will stay our slogan.” What a shock, then, that when Chirac met Nasrallah, the French President said, “Hezbollah is an important component of the Lebanese society”.

Obviously, Chirac sees a major terrorist organization, whose goal is to destroy us, as a morally legitimized entity.

On a more cultural level, during that Francophone Summit, Hezbollah and France agreed on having Al Manar TV (the Hezbollah TV network) start broadcasting their terrorist propaganda in France to the French people, and in particular to the Muslim community. At the same time, on October 22, 2002 Al Manar won in France the equivalent of the Emmy for best news reporting!

France likes to find a way to kill two birds with one stone. It always supports the Muslim rogue States like Iraq, Syria and Iran, and at the same time it goes systematically against the USA. And now that Saddam is gone, Chirac has replaced him with Assad as his new best friend.

The US Administration and public realized only just over a year ago, during the Iraq debate, that France was becoming a hostile nation. Since then, France has been forgiven by many, even though it still never misses an opportunity to side with the devils: in this case Syria and Hezbollah. In light of all these facts, is it not time for Congress to prepare a France Accountability Act, to sanction it for its support of terrorist states and organizations alike?

In a word, yes!
