Talk:Bernard Kouchner

message: Kouchner is an influential man for 2004 from Time. It was there that I decided to edit his article.
There are a few matters I would like clarified very quickly:
*If he is an European deputy, does that mean he is part of the European Parliament, or was for the time he held that position? (I mean to ask, specifically, was he a member)?
*What is 'humanitarian ingenerence' [sic]? It's a diplomatic point that is more than a little lost on me. A good part of French foreign policy, I agree. And certainly one that most international organisations would do well to follow. Methinks it has something to do with 'insurgence', judging by the reference to Iraq, as well as the things Kouchner and his fellow colleagues did in Kosovo.
Or is it something more like interference or intervention? I'll find a word between the two and put it in the place to which it is referred.
He seems to me like a really good conviction politician, as well as a good doctor. I don't know about the word 'medic', seems to strike a very slight informal register that is not in keeping/tone with the organisation. I'm not sure I'd have noticed it if Kouchner wasn't a politician too, or at least in political lobbying.

text: "European deputy" is a mistranslation of the French "député européen". Kouchner was indeed a Member of the European Parliament from 1994 to 1997, as indicated in the French Wikipedia.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.99.70.214 (talk) 22:37, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

message: BigGuns, it seems you were the one added this to the article "Parti Socialiste isnt happy with him going to be a part of a Right-Wing goverment and is going to start his execution from the Party."
Please stop being a troll. Wikipedia isn't the place for that.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.139.213.37 (talk) 14:14, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

message: could someone clarify whether he was against or for the invasion of Iraq? currently the article contradicts itself.  only one of the statements has a reference --Nickhh 21:24, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Done. Against. His position was different from the official one of France in that France was willing to leave Saddam Hussein in power, in order to not fracture the country and possibly destabilize the region. --Jerome Potts 17:58, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Iraq 

message: Early on, the article says he was never a formal member of the Socialist Party.  Later, it says he was expelled from it after joining Sarkozy's government.  I read that the Socialists kicked him out from another source and came here to read more about it.  He had to have been a member in order to be kicked out.--Gloriamarie 07:00, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

message: According to this article, Kouchner's mother was a Catholic while both the French and Swedish versions claims that she was a protestant. Which is correct? Regards J-C V (talk) 00:02, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

message: Just for the record and so I don't get accused of sockpupetry, I performed the 12:29, 7 October 2010 edit while accidentally logged off.  This section used vague language without stating exactly what Kouchner had done, and neither did the one of the two sources that was in English.  Mezigue (talk) 12:32, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I suppose this topic is controversial. What however is not controversial are his public statements. He said that there were no organ trading. You can see his statement in the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EZA0NgY3Iw&NR=1 at around time: 1:22 where he is laughing about it. 88.117.35.251 (talk) 08:28, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
