    Bush was a fascist as well. Post 9/11 any dissent was crushed for years, which is how they got to push the Iraq war through.

      People tend to forget just how hard the propaganda machine was swinging then. Remember freedom fries? And how the start of the war was timed for primetime television?

        I remember and will never forget the media, politic and the following “french frog white flag bashing” when we told you the reasons invoked for this war were bullshit…

        But more important, I will always remember the deadly attacks we got in our country following the global destabilisation you created in the world. They couldn’t access USA so they targeted the Europe instead… Charlie Hebdo, the Bataclan and many more…

        I have participated to a retrospective meeting leaded by the colonel in charge of Paris when several sites and the Bataclan were attacked. And how he had to choose where to send the help and how many vehicules he could afford, trying to know if another attack will happens in another site. In this meeting I’ve also heard the phone call of people crying for help and being executed by these fanatics…

        Knowing that 6 days before I was in this same fucking place listening Nobuo Uematsu playing final fantasy music… I’m sure you understand why I will never forget that.

        I’m lucky this concert was not on the same day of the football/soccer game they initialy targeted but couldn’t due to the enhanced security this day (a minister was there with my company boss and some others colleagues). So they started to travel in the city, shooting at random (like bars) before entering in the concert room and massacre everybody inside…

        All of that for the $ of your dear GOP members… The fucking $ you put in all conversations like it’s the ultimate goal of a life. More important than a life… A child life in a school for example…

        Please USA, clean your shit, i’m sick seeing the world being impacted by your politics…
