Rid NATO of the Entente Cordiale, by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. (Jun. 28, 1996) The same Entente was revived, in fact, under President François Mitterrand, and has been recently revived, by name, under President Jacques Chirac. Exemplary is the already referenced case of those Balkan wars, which were organized as a geopolitical action, by the joint initiative of the governments of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and France's President François Mitterrand. This Entente was used to create those ensuing Balkan wars, which lured the pan-Slavist mystics of Russia into turning the Triple Entente of Britain-France-Russia into a commitment to force war upon Germany. www.larouchepub.com /lar/1996/rid_nato.html   (14341 words)

Since the early 17th century the Académie Française has been devoted to the defence and promotion of the French language (la francophonie). So long as Germany hesitates to assert itself diplomatically, the Franco-German special relationship will doubtless survive, even if in somewhat diluted form (it is not for nothing that a judicious friendship with Germany is known in France as the 'pensée unique' - the sole preoccupation of external policy). www.euro-know.org /dictionary/f.html   (84 words)
