If anyone could point to a list where French positions on international issues reflected the wisdom of Solomon, while the US positions were dead wrong, I'd love to see it. The French and their European compadres are the Chomskys of the international stage. As they themselves never have to work to directly to resolve problems threatening world peace, their role is that of the critic who himself has no track record, so we can never tell whether--if he were directing the movie--it would truly have come out better. As the actions and opinions of the French have no impact on world affairs, they are free to "say anything" so long as it appeases some nation or group France wishes to appease.

Re: France's Socialist Prime Minister Lionel Jospin added his voice Friday to the growing criticism from Europe of U.S. foreign policy, calling on Washington to broaden its contacts with the rest of the world and not to become fixated on the war on terrorism. "One cannot reduce the problems of the world to the single dimension of the fight against terrorism -- however vital that might be -- nor can one rely for solving them on the dominance of military methods," Jospin said. Well, we should put it into the French context --presidential election is scheduled for May 2002, and Socialist PM Lionel Jospin is a presidential hopeful... Besides, most of the French Jewry is fervently backing Jospin and his Jewish associates (Laurent Fabius, Dominique Strauss-Khan, etc). Just remember Jospin's last visit to Palestine when he got stoned by Palestinian youths.... Contrariwise, French Jews just HATE his contender, Prez Jacques Chirac. However, regardless of their respective leanings towards Middle East issues, all candidates must take into account French jingoism and its usual Yank-bashing slant... As regards the current anti-terror investigations, I suspect that FBI sleuths roaming all across Europe --not to mention EU prisoners in Guantanamo-- give the French (and other EU countries) the jitters. Indeed, as I said, the next layer in the terrorist chain of command is likely crawling with all-European, white, Christian spooks.... and, understandably, nobody wants the US to expose Al-Qaeda as a RUSSIAN/EUROPEAN cointelpro conspiracy. I guess the French and the Russians (and their EU accomplices) are working hard to shield Al-Qaeda's Western/Russian case officers from US hounds. Gus
