You Cannot Trust People Who

The Authority And Influence Of France On The World Scene In The 21st Century Will Not Depend Solely On Its Modernity And Cohesion, Nor Even On The Continuity And Professionalism Of Its Foreign Policy. France Will Be Heeded If It Has A Message To Convey. Faced With The Temptations Of Laissez-faire, France Must Stand Out As The Nation With The Imagination And Determination To Pursue An Ambition That Combines Cogency With Generosity.

One Can Go To War Alone, But You Can't Build Peace Alone.

This Will Provide An Engine, An Example That Will Allow Europe To Go Faster, Further And Better.

It Is With Enormous Distress That France Has Just Learned Of The Monstrous Attacks There Is No Other Word For It That Have Just Struck The United States Of America. In These Horrifying Circumstances, The Entire People Of France, And I Want To Emphasize This, Stand By The People Of America. They Express Their Friendship And Solidarity In This Tragedy. Naturally, I Want To Assure President Bush Of My Total Support. France, As You Know, Has Always Condemned And Unreservedly Condemns Terrorism, And Considers That Terrorism Must Be Combated By All Possible Means.

France Will Never Forget The Men Who Agreed To Make The Supreme Sacrifice To Liberate Our Soil, Our Country, Our Continent From The Yoke Of Nazi Barbarity. It Will Never Forget What It Owes America, Our Eternal Friend. Our Two Peoples Have Stood Shoulder-to-shoulder In The Brotherhood Of Blood Spilled.
