Il faut admirer la constance et l’ent\u00eatement des \u00e9ditorialistes qui font leur petit travail de propagandiste de la foi. Aujourd’hui, l’OTAN les inqui\u00e8te, les propagandistes de la foi, et avec elle, les Pays-Bas si fameux pour leur vertu. Et l’Afghanistan, cela ne vous inqui\u00e8te pas? Et Al Qa\u00efda, et l’Iran, vous \u00eatre tranquille avec? (Tout \u00e7a, m\u00eame tabac d’Orient, \u00e9pouvantablement suspect.) Ignorez-vous qu’aujourd’hui, nous sommes \u00ab at a time when the threat to Western security is greater than ever<\/em> \u00bb? Lisez le Daily Telegraph<\/a> du jour, l’organe neo-con<\/em> britannique, et vous en saurez plus.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tOn y apprend, de la m\u00eame plume, dans la m\u00eame foul\u00e9e, que si les US ne sont pas intervenus en Afghanistan comme membre de l’OTAN, c’est \u00e0 cause de la \u00ab Washington’s preference for using its vastly superior military power to hunt down its enemies, rather than getting bogged down in Nato bureaucracy, as happened over Kosovo.<\/em> \u00bb Cette \u00e9pouvantable OTAN, avec son insupportable et paralysante bureaucratie, devient, hop !, par bonheur, dans le paragraphe suivant (sept lignes plus loin) \u00ab the West’s most effective military alliance<\/em> \u00bb. Ouf, \u00e7a craignait dur.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tC’est vrai, tout cela est charmant, les \u00e9ditorialistes-propagandistes anglo-saxons et neo-cons<\/em> sont de vrais po\u00e8tes de la foi. Ils nous font voyager. Et puis nous redevenons s\u00e9rieux, pour constater que, pour ce qui concerne l’OTAN, les Pays-Bas et l’Afghanistan, il y a panique \u00e0 bord. Quand vous lisez ceci (l’\u00e9dito du Telegraph<\/em>), o\u00f9 vous d\u00e9couvrez qu’\u00e0 c\u00f4t\u00e9 des N\u00e9erlandais, d’autres mis\u00e9rables Europ\u00e9ens sont coupables d’esprit munichois, vous ne pouvez que d\u00e9sesp\u00e9rer : \u00ab But just at the moment that Nato’s 26 member states are finally facing up to their military obligations, the alliance faces a new crisis over the disinclination of a number of European states to put their soldiers in harm’s way. This week’s announcement that Nato’s planned deployment to southern Afghanistan was to be delayed by several months was blamed on the Dutch government, which has had second thoughts about placing its soldiers’ lives in jeopardy.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bb But at least the Dutch are prepared to consider the possibility, which is more than can be said for Europe’s main military powers with the notable exception of Britain. Germany, France, Italy and Spain have all deployed troops in Afghanistan, but on the strict understanding that they be stationed in parts of the country such as the relatively pacified north where their soldiers’ lives will not be imperilled.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bb Such blatant failures of will are most unwelcome at a time when the threat to Western security is greater than ever. Quite apart from the danger posed by al-Qa’eda, the West could soon find itself obliged to take action to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapons arsenal. And if Nato is to prevail over the menace posed by militant Islam, it must show resolve, not weakness.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \tMis en ligne le 20 janvier 2006 \u00e0 09H54<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Il faut admirer la constance et l’ent\u00eatement des \u00e9ditorialistes qui font leur petit travail de propagandiste de la foi.
