Dear Scumbria: OK, I read the articles, I certainly hope that the second one is false, for if it is true there IS NO SOLUTION besides GENOCIDE. More then ever I feel now that if the USA is to be involved we must INSIST that the moderate ARAB states including Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and others take a full share of the solution AND THE BLAME if we are to be involved. Someone has got to be held accountable to install peaceful solutions. Seems like Arafat and his minions are not the ones to deal with. JDN

<<Nothing much has changed in France, since the days of surrendering to Hitler after 12 hours of non-battle.>>

From May 10, 1940 until late June, the French army fought continuously against the Wehrmacht, losing thousands of killed and wounded and hundreds of thousands captured. The Wehrmacht overran Northern France and Belgium, then turned south and overran most of France. A peace was established because the French army was routed, but thousands fought on in parts of French Colonial Africa, as well as in underground units in occupied France. In 1944, a French division fought in Normandy, and the French Army re-established itself in the field after a large portion of the country was liberated. A significant French force assisted in the invasion of Germany in 1945.

France and its armed forces suffered from incompetence and bad luck in WWII. Fortunately they toughed it out and were finally victorious. But I'd hardly accuse them of "non-battle"...
