In the U.S., we'll go on and on about the VAST differences between Republicans and Democrats. But, as you know, they are pretty much the same compared to the different political parties in France. I think someone said their Communist party has as much chance of winning an election as their Fascist party, etc.

Has anyone else heard that France has a standing policy with terrorists? France won't extradite if the terrorists agree not to blow up stuff in their country.

France and Russia have extremely lucrative oil deals with Iraq, right? But, while it is PC to say that the U.S. only wants to invade Iraq for their oil, it's not PC to say that France and Russia DON'T want us to invade Iraq... because of the oil. Instead, it is simply a matter of the French wanting to throw their weight around.

Someone else suggested that the reason why France and Germany don't want a war with Iraq is because they are pretty much safe from terrorism now that everyone is focusing on the States.
