so you're saying Vlad the Impaler was justified in committing mass murder because..he grew up in a bad neighborhood? Only a (V)lad He really couldn't help it Only a (V)lad He didn't want to do it Only a (V)lad He's underprivileged and abused Perhaps a little bit confused... It's not his fault that he can't believe It's not his fault that he can't behave Society made him go astray Perhaps if we're nice he'll go away Perhaps he'll go away He'll go away

Haim, I didn't really mean to diss Romania -- 'or anyone else' -- it's just that I'm having a hard time understanding all the vitriol directed against France ... As irritating as the French can be (and I do agree that DeGaule, in particular, was a pompous ass), they just might be right on occasion ... I know that's not your view in this instance (re. war with Iraq), but that doesn't make them necessarily wrong. btw, I'm glad that you noted that there were some brave Frenchmen in WWII ... there's good and bad in all nations, imo.
