\n« And in a deliberate jibe at remarks by the US defence secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, who last month referred to French and German opposition to Washington’s march to war as the response of \u00a0\u00bbold Europe\u00a0\u00bb, Mr de Villepin said America may have something to learn.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n» \u00a0\u00bbWe must give priority to disarmament by peaceful means,\u00a0\u00bb he said. \u00a0\u00bbIt is an old country, France, from an old continent, that tells you so today. A country that has known wars, occupation, barbarity.\u00a0\u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n» Stung by US and British media headlines alleging that France had \u00a0\u00bbforgotten\u00a0\u00bb US help in the second world war, Mr de Villepin retorted: \u00a0\u00bb<\/em>[Mine is] a country that does not forget, and is fully aware of what it owes to freedom fighters from America and elsewhere. <\/em>[But] true to its values, it wants to act resolutely together with all the members of the international community.\u00a0\u00bb<\/em> »<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n• Le col\u00e8re impuissante de Powell est une autre illustration de cette journ\u00e9e historique. Pour la deuxi\u00e8me fois en moins d’un mois (apr\u00e8s le 20 janvier), pour la deuxi\u00e8me fois \u00e0 cause du Fran\u00e7ais de Villepin, Powell perd son calme et \u00e9carte ses notes. Il improvise une protestation sans grande port\u00e9e, montrant surtout, une fois de plus, que la diplomatie US, enferm\u00e9e dans la certitude de sa puissance, est incapable de pr\u00e9voir ces situations où elle est mise en cause, — lesquelles deviennent monnaie courante ces derniers temps.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\n« A visibly exasperated Secretary of State Colin Powell setting aside his prepared remarks, warned that the world should not be taken in by \u00a0\u00bbtricks that are being played on us.\u00a0\u00bb But only Spain and Britain spoke up for the U.S. position in the 15-member council, and even Britain’s Foreign Secretary Jack Straw held out hope for a peaceful solution if Iraq dramatically accelerates its cooperation.<\/em> » (AP)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nCette s\u00e9ance du 14 f\u00e9vrier au Conseil de S\u00e9curit\u00e9 a eu lieu sur l’arri\u00e8re-plan des grandes manifestations du week-end. Celles-ci auront lieu sur l’arri\u00e8re-plan de ce d\u00e9bat historique du 14 f\u00e9vrier. Les deux \u00e9v\u00e9nements sont parfaitement interactifs et marquent les deux aspects d’une m\u00eame bataille. Ils marquent \u00e9galement une d\u00e9faite cuisante pour les Am\u00e9ricains, qui se retrouvent plus isol\u00e9s que jamais, \u00e0 la fois prisonniers du processus de l’ONU et mis \u00e0 l’index par ce processus.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
• Pour se lib\u00e9rer du processus ONU, il faudrait une d\u00e9cision unilat\u00e9rale qui mettrait les USA hors des normes internationales et acc\u00e9l\u00e9rerait de fa\u00e7on vertigineuse l’effondrement de leur syst\u00e8me d’influence (OTAN notamment).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
• Le fait de rester dans la logique ONU repr\u00e9sente pour les USA, une voie \u00e9galement tr\u00e8s \u00e9pineuse : r\u00e9duction de leur influence, accentuation du trouble int\u00e9rieur, et, dans tous les cas, m\u00eame processus de d\u00e9sagr\u00e9gation, en \u00e0 peine moins rapide, des points forts de l’influence am\u00e9ricaine du dernier demi-si\u00e8cle.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
On voit combien la crise actuelle, avec ce tournant important du 14-15 f\u00e9vrier, est confirm\u00e9e comme la crise de la puissance am\u00e9ricaine beaucoup plus que n’importe quelle autre interpr\u00e9tation qu’on peut lui donner.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
