The Washington Times published an intriguing OpEd by Sylvain Charat.

What’s particularly compelling about this opinion piece is that the author was chief of staff for Alain Madelin, former secretary of finance for French President Jacques Chirac.

I thought that having someone who used to work in the Chirac Administration supporting the War in Iraq warranted your attention.

“Indeed, there is no room for balancing, nor for regrets. In the light of the above facts, President Bush’s decision was responsible and legitimate. International law was not despised, it merely showed its limits and should be reconsidered and even rebuilt in the light of warfare changes. And at least now, there’s hope for democracy in Iraq, even if the fight for it will be hard. But it is worth fighting.”
