Hi Hawkmoon; Re: "I wonder if you have polled the French public recently, in light of the attack upon their oil tanker??"

France has had plenty of terror before the oil tanker attack. They came to their current position of neutrality on the Middle East after far more terrorism than we have seen in the US, at least on a per capita basis.

While it may seem natural to you that humans can only have one response to provocation (fighting back), the actual fact is that it is not so simple. If it were, wars would never end until one side or the other was completely eliminated from the earth.
