Subject: RE: BS: They ALL disappeared!
Yup. Nuke Liechtenstein! Seriously, I think all sane folks would agree that Saddam Hussien is an evil and murderous man who siezed every opprotunity to take by force what he wanted including Kuwait. Don't forget his war with Iran and his stated designs on Saudi oil fields. That France was quite cozied up with Saddam and financially invested in his regime is now obvious to all but the wilfully blind. Had there been European solidarity against his outlaw regime and swift and meaningful diplomatic and financial pressure brought to bear (as opposed to 17 meaningless, gutless UN resolutions) Hussien might have been toppled with less blood and violence. Frankly this topic has been discussed ad nauseum in other threads and I don't think anyone's been converted on either side of the issue, have they? Have you? In like manner, I don't think my boycott of France will impact that nation with any great consequence. If Mr. O'Reilly's entire viewing audience faithfully boycotted France the results would be miniscule. Its just my way of saying "Thanks a lot France, for standing with us as we have stood with you in the past."
The original chum for this thread was about Bush/Cheney bumper stickers, remember? Maybe my next bumper sticker will read "Space Available for the Next Rant."
