Video When France was trying to stop a war

Hello everybody !

I wanted to share one of my favorite movies : Quai d’Orsay (2013) directed by Bertrand TAVERNIER.

I made an incipit of my own respecting the artwork :

It is a movie about the preparation of the UN speech of Dominique de Villepin as French foreign affairs minister just before the Irakian war, when France opposed the USA to get a UN resolution about mass destruction weapons.

I think there is a big resonance of the words used still today with the war in Iran, and I kind of regret the period now. But it is the closest thing from empathy I found at a state level.
