<P>Quotes:</P>
<P>“As you can see, for months, our country is only participating to put in
place, Islamic regimes in North Africa and the Middle East. So, when they come
and pretend to go to war in order to fight against terrorism in Mali, well… I
feel like to laugh. It’s false! Under the appearance of good actions, we only
intervene to defend financial interests in a complete neo-colonist mindset.”</P>
<P>“It’s a real nonsense to go to help France in Mali in the name of the fight
against terrorism when at the same time, we support in Syria the overthrow of
Bashar al-Assad by Islamist rebels who want to impose Sharia Law, as was done in
Tunisia and in Libya.”</P>
<P>“The western countries are taking the oppurtunity to place military bases in
the newly conquered countries while favoring domestic companies.”</P>
<P>“To go to war, to free people from an outside aggressor, is noble. But to go
to war to defend the interests of the USA, to go to war to defend the interests
of big companies such as AREVA, go to war to put our hands on gold mines, has
nothing noble at all and it reveals our countries to be attackers and
thugs!”</P>
