I just read the article (belatedly) in Le Monde concerning the exchange in the Security Council between the French and Russian foreign ministers and Colin Powell, one of Boy George's token lap dogs. Interesting perspective. If you only listen to or read the swill that emanates from the American media, France is the problem. It's interesting to see how Europeans, on the other hand, see us as the issue of concern. I find it fascinating that most of the jokers in the White House, and many of those morons who happily voted for them, never served in any military branch in a theater of war. They're all gung-ho, though, to go off and fire off their latest smart weapons, and unleash their brainwashed children with their big guns on half-starved Iraqis. The Europeans, however, know full well the consequences of wars, unlike most Americans. The French and Russians suffered through two horrible world wars, and thus have more than earned the right to speak out against Boy George's messianic crusades . . .
