Right now, the US must cut off ALL financial aid to Russia and put it on its blacklist of "rogue states"; As for France, it suffices to put the squeeze on her via the WTO, the UN, etc. If we find that they are responsible I'm sure this would be done but I consider it very unlikely. Tim

and Russia are unlikely targets for attack >>>> Very likely targets,in a sense that Putin will now place a giant screw on the country vast mafia...(He wanted to do it all along,Russia must have a "Revolution" once in a while.. As for France (and Belgium) I doubt they will allow now a significant immigration of people like you...

Just in case anyone thinks Gustave is crazy with his conspiracy theories, here are some concrete examples of how these terrorist acts are not always what they seem. << A documentary broadcast August 25 by German public television presents compelling evidence that some of the main suspects in the 1986 Berlin disco bombing, the event that provided the pretext for a US air assault on Libya, worked for American and Israeli intelligence. >> wsws.org << It is difficult to avoid the thought that the destruction of Pan Am 103 over Lockerbie a few months later was Iranian retaliation, as stated explicitly by Iranian intelligence defector Abolhassem Mesbahi, also an aide to President Rafsanjani, "regarded as a credible and senior Iranian source in Germany and elsewhere," the Guardian reports. A 1991 U.S. intelligence document (National Security Agency), declassified in 1997, draws the same conclusion, alleging that Akbar Mohtashemi, a former Iranian interior minister, transferred $10 million "to bomb Pan Am 103 in retaliation for the U.S. shoot-down of the Iranian Airbus," referring to his connections with "the Al Abas and Abu Nidal terrorist groups." It is striking that despite the evidence and the clear motive, this is virtually the only act of terrorism not blamed on Iran. Rather, the U.S. and UK have charged two Libyan nationals with the crime. >> zmag.org
