'I'll trust the administration on this, "Punish France. Ignore Germany. Forgive Russia."-Condi Rice'
"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 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.
Putin said he wasn't going to sell nuclear fuel to Iran. A couple days later Beslan happens. Then we have iran turning to france, germany, etc. demanding nuclear parts and help, and getting it. They're helping iran, now, the same way clinton did n. korea.
