One Does Not Export Democracy

France Is Deeply Upset To Learn Of The Monstrous Attacks That Have Just Struck The United States.... In These Terrible Circumstances, All French People Stand By The American People. We Express Our Friendship And Solidarity In This Tragedy.

Terrorism Has Become The Systematic Weapon Of A War That Knows No Borders Or Seldom Has A Face.

These Irresponsible Acts, Which Cannot Have Any Justification Whatsoever, Are To Be Fully Condemned. In These Appalling Circumstances, I Want To Offer You The Most Sincere Condolences, Both In My Name And In That Of The French People.

France Will Insist On The Need For Updated And Responsive Institutions.

Terrorism Takes Us Back To Ages We Thought Were Long Gone If We Allow It A Free Hand To Corrupt Democratic Societies And Destroy The Basic Rules Of International Life.
