Besides, this thread is about the US foreign affairs. Maybe you would like to start a thread about French foreign affairs,

Ahem.... While I appreciate and encourage your participation Zonder, I hope that you'll permit me that one pleasure I receive from being the one who decides what is, and isn't, on topic.. Thanks... ;0)

While I would not wish to encourage dedicating this thread to another country's foreign policy, I would state that no nation's foreign policy occurs in a vacuum. One country's FP directly impacts and often drives the FP of another country.. And that is no truer than in the case of the US and Western Europe..

Additionally, I find comparisons and contrasts pertinent to determining the worth of US FP decisions and what influences are impacting them..

But more importantly, I think it is well and good for people to be reminded of the mistakes and gaffs of other nation's in conducting THEIR foreign policy.. After all, the US is walking through political minefields laid down long before it ever truly became a international power..

As for biologically "modified" foods... I suggest we all remind ourselves that what currently poses as domestic grains and wheats bear LITTLE resemblance to their non-domesticated ancestors...

We have been cross-pollinating, grafting, and hybridizing mother nature's grain bearing flora for thousands of years.

So for some of the "chicken littles" to suddenly call GMF grains "franken foods" is really quite disingenuous.

But the hype and false fear generated by these "special interests" (including European agriculture lobbies) was very effective in causing African nations to reject US grain...

But something tells me that all of this worry will dissipate as soon as European Agri-Science catches up with that of the US.. Because obviously they will no longer be at such an economic disadvantage against US farmers.
