*OT Rant on France* Don't forget, French Government Terrorists bombed a Greenpeace boat in Auckland, which is not noted as a source of military threat to the world. So if France is happy to murder people in NZ, a country which helped rescue them from Nazis, then they will certainly do the same to the USA if it suits them. Don't forget that France already has a great deal of antipathy to the cultural imperialism of the USA and has gone to the extent of passing cultural laws to protect the sacred french language against USA inroads. "Thou shalt not speak franglais".
The USA had best be on guard against France, a potential source of serious threat, nuclear-armed, with many more weapons of mass destruction than Iraq will ever have. A pre-emptive strike is a good idea. Perhaps a smart bombing of the Elysee Palace would be in order to show solidarity with New Zealand, an old ANZUS buddy, which would be good practise for a similar attack on Libya, to show solidarity with the Lockerbie victims. If terrorists are allowed to get away with murder, they will continue.
The French gave the USA the Statue of Liberty. Has anyone checked it for a millennium bug or booby trap? Remember the Trojan Horse! Of course the Statue of Liberty was long ago, so maybe the good people of France aren't running the show these days. Some of them came to NZ, fleeing the Prussian invasion of Alsace and the siege of Paris.
It was Mitterand and his criminal cohorts who were running it and maybe they too are all gone now. At least Mitterand died, good riddance.
