"France is a major pain in the a$$, but they are not a major threat like Russia. France and Germany are also not the entire EU, although they are the two most influential members"

France is a haven for terrorists and dictators. Everyone from Mugabee to Ghadafi to arafat is at home there. Why? France is a threat whether you recognize it or not.

I'll trust the administration on this...

So will you trust the administration on the Ukraine, as well? See Colin Powell and President Bush's statements.

I wish I didn't see this. Did Rice really say this? Should we forgive them when their nuclear equipment help Iran produce a bomb that ends up in D.C. or NYC. I think not. France is not a threat. I don't share your fear of the French. I am no major fan of France's policies, but they don't seem to constitute a threat, especially no in comparison to the world's greates proliferator of weapons, Russia. I'm not sure if France is exactly a haven for terrorists either. They have some problems with their muslim population there, but I don't think there are any terror camps in France.
