Happy for you. Why, thank you zonder! It happened to be true. The girls and I know each other because I am a "Local" and chat with them. They are surprisingly good looking, right on the corner across from the Police Station, and spend their time chasing the Japanese Tourists. I posted that remark for fun, and thought I would get some "Smart Ass" reply. Hell, maybe it was one, and I am just not "nuanced" enough to recognize it. :>) I notice that you have been beating some of the posters over the head with the fact that Iraq was a "client State" of ours at the time of its worst "Blood for Oil" battles back in the '80s. Yeah, that is the reason we don't go after Iraq a "Genocide" charge. That was after Carter had bungled the Iranian Revolution, and "The enemy of our enemy was our friend." We did a lot of that in the cold war. But that was then and this is now. All States end up playing these games at some time. But now Iraq is France's "Client State" and Chirac is working the UN and the EU for them.
