French Missile Test: Sauce for the Goose, not the Gander
John Burroughs
Today an item in the New York Times World Briefing said, in its entirety:
France successfully fired its new submarine-launched long-range M51 missile over the Atlantic in its first experimental test flight, the Defense Ministry said. The missile is designed to carry six thermonuclear warheads and has a range of up to 6,000 miles.
Don’t hold your breath waiting for a Security Council resolution condemning the test as jeopardizing international peace and security. That was the Council’s response to the July missile test by North Korea. But as Michael Spies blogged here regarding a subsequent U.S. missile test, the United States, France, and other permanent members of the Council apply different standards (if any) to themselves.

Your comment is quite right. We put it on our Website: http://www.acdn.net. You can find there more information on the mobilization of French activists against this M51 missile, which is planned to modernising the French nuclear submarines after 2010.
Here on this coast of the Atlantic Ocean, we would enjoy hearing more on the US disaster at Forward Base Falcon in Baghdad on 10th October 2006.
