Here is one for you Bob -- a nerd question:

My, my - aren't you clever. Changing the subject again because you can't come up with an answer for French arming and protecting of an outlaw regime. And at the same time calling me a nerd if I answer your illogical challenge.

Ever hear the one about two guys running from a bear? Well, I don't have to be a nerd to overcome your weak and flawed arguments - I need only be better read than you and that's not all that hard.

Tell me, what do these three "injustices" have to do with French sales of weapons parts and sophisticated rocket propellents to Iraq, or with French efforts to protect an outlaw regime?

1. 1974 Turkish military action in Cyprus in response to a Greek-led coup d'etat, with Greek military overthrowing the Greek-Cypriot president and existing government of the Republic of Cyprus after he declined to bow to Athens.

2. Israel occupying territory seized from Egypt, Jordan and Syria after those nations attacked Israel in 1967 and again in 1973, and continuing to occupy them in part on the basis of Iraqi-sponsored suicide bombing organized from the occupied territories.

3. 1999 alleged Indonesian military complicity in East Timor militia violence after a vote for independence, where the UN Security Council, including the US, approved a peacekeeping force within eight days of Indonesia's declaration of martial law. BTW, East Timor held peaceful democratic elections in 2001.

Other than sponsorship of terrorism against Israel, can you make any connection between these events and current events involving Iraq and the US? If not, I suggest you stick to the subject at hand instead of trying desperately to divert attention from your own weak defense of the French.
