Dabum, By opposing the war, France at least puts up a facade that they are on a moral high ground. A facade that is easily seen through, but nonetheless it exists. Now that they've been faced down, they are effectively spinning a 180 wrt Saddam and Iraq. Rather than having the appearance of moral leaders, the French now are seen as nothing more than opportunistic wimps. <<I don't support their approach, but I can see where they were coming from.>> I can see where they are coming from, and it is pretty pathetic. Knowingly funding and supporting a regime so vile. <<France is acting in their own best financial interests.>> You got that right. Probably just the financial interest of a handful of corporate and government profiteers. The French people who a majority of supported Chirac - this I would attribute to the typical down with America attitude that the French people seem to have always had. Warp
