The man that the Bushies love to hate is speaking out against "odious and disgraceful acts of hatred dirty our country" as France struggles with another rising tide of hate crimes.  I may have issues with some of his policies but he's not the evil character that the Bushies like to portray.  I think there needs to be more to the policies but I applaud his effort to raise the issue and bring the country together to fight the ugliness of hatred.  What ever happened to our uniter?
"Discrimination, anti-Semitism, racism - all kinds of racism are spreading insidiously," M. Chirac said. "A France, true to its history, its roots and its culture, is a France capable of better, a France which rejects selfishness, exclusion and discrimination. That is the France I believe in."
