Force will only worsen wounds: France

By Vaiju Naravane


Paris March 25. The French Foreign Minister, Dominique de Villepin, launched yet
another blistering attack against the United States on Monday saying no country
should "set itself up as the world's guardian".

Speaking on French television, Mr. De Villepin, said force would only worsen the
"wounds of the world''. Arguing in favour of a world order where the tenets of
sovereignty, human rights and the rule of law were respected, he said the U.S.-led
intervention had opened up the risk of the use of force in other crises in the world.
``From the moment the military timetable was in place.., dialogue became more
and more difficult.''
