Ain't that the truth... I think we worry way too much about world opinion, especially Europe... the Europeans continue to amaze me, especially the French... I am always dazzled at their stupidity, complacency, and absolute arrogance... we saved their asses in WW II, we rebuilt their cities, we forgave their loans, for more than 50 years we spent American tax money keeping troops in bases in their countries throughout the cold war protecting them from Communism... we defended them at our expense which allowed their countries astronomical savings on defense, saving which they used to develop their cities, simulate their economies, and grow economically and politically globally... but now when it comes to recruiting them in a fight against terrorism, they look away... they are nothing more than spoiled brats... The next time terrorists and foreign armies are blowing up their bridges and bombing their buildings and they pick up the phone to dial 911, maybe we should not answer their call..... GZ

OK JDN, I don't think we'll reach common ground on this one. Best of luck, BF
