Indeed. Kings of France already wanted to colonize other non-French areas. Jacobins didn't invent the imperialism in France.

I haven't heard of mass murders like in Franche-Comté during the German reunification; and when the Alsace was occupied by Germany there weren't concentration camps like the camp "Margueritte".

We can not say that during the monarchy there was an ethnocide policy, it was more to reduce a bit the local liberties. Louis XVI wasn't Francois Ier or Louis XIV, and between Louis XVI and republicans, there is a world apart. This king was may be the most "liberal" for the local liberties.
Anyway, it's highly impossible to compare him with Saddam who has created a state with french republicans and communists influence, laic and anti-ethnic. It's for this reason that french stato-nationalist like him I suppose.
