tejek, re:France hrw.org With this extraordinarily detailed evidence of genocide, Human Rights Watch launched a campaign to bring Saddam to justice. At the time the U.N. Security Council was creating special tribunals for Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia, but there was no consensus for similar action on Iraq. France and Russia, each with extensive business interests in Iraq, threatened to wield their veto. How little things have changed. What is it the French are afraid the world will find?

Ted Re..What part of "Germany and France are two of our biggest trading partners and a slowdown in our economy means a slowdown in theirs'" do you not get.. Well, I didn't get one word of it, because you didn't say it. The EU is Europes answer to compete against America. The fact is that Europe is trying to slow down America both militaristicly and economically, so Europe can compete, without changing their liberal agendas. However, even if America votes dem. in the next election, and reinstitutes liberal policies; that will hardly do europe any good economically, because their real competition is the new emerging economies of the pacific rim and china, and India. The liberals in Europe hope to save their jobs by blaming America for their problems, when they should be looking at America for ideas how to compete with the emerging economic powers. For them to say the US is a bully,and GW is causing greenhouse gasses, and Rumsfeld is a boor, and its companies are stealing their jobs etc. won't help them against the competition. Well, you have all explained in a nutshell......far leave to me to argue with you. Why thank you. That is why I am here, to help you young whippersnappers. <g> That's it.....might makes right; load those damn torpedoes; lets blow our former allies to smithereens.........they weren't worth all the hassles. Do you have a link where I ever once said that. I said that europe would likely have to rein in their liberal tendencies to compete. The liberals in Europe think America made a big mistake going conservative, and are making fun of GW. The truth is they might have to go conservative also to compete; just as the US did to compete against Japan. That is my point, and that is all I am trying to say.
