Why did France attack Libya on the 8 year anniversary of the Iraq invasion March 19 2003?
It was just a coincidence.

My thought was that perhaps because France was not onboard with the U.S. invasion of Iraq, that France was sending a message to the U.S. and Britain that "when the cause is just, you can count on France to be the first to cross the proverbial line drawn in the sand (Lt. Col. Travis - Alamo 1836).
