JJ, American expatriates all belong in France. Basically what this guy is saying is ignore your friend, ignore american casualties, ignore fp imperatives(a safer iraq) and let bush dangle in the wind. This is an american? I guess he thinks so. mike

JJ, I don't see why this sort of stuff merits anything more than, "Well, he's entitled to his opinion." "Celebrity" prononcimentos on foreign affairs get a lot of ink (or digits, whatever the media) and they are meaningless. BTW, this is the author who took great offense at Oprah Winfrey (very popular talk show host) choosing a novel of his for her book club and inviting him to appear on her show. His reaction was "at best ambivalent and impolitic, at worst self-destructively churlish and ungrateful, expressing a snobbish distaste for the company he would be keeping as an "Oprah" author...labeling her previous selections "schmaltzy". theatlantic.com Sounds to me like he'd fit right in with the European intelligentsia. :-/
