'"France rejects the idea that the American model of democracy needs to be imposed throughout the world, even through non-military means," the paper says.'

If France should find itself one day with 3,000 dead citizens due to terrorists, then France might better understand the U.S. attitude towards "imposing" democracy.

Hi, Texkat.

Does it bother you that these journalists seem to think it's okay to constantly refer to her as Condi, instead of Dr. Rice, Ms. Rice or Madame Secretary?

I hate it. We can call her what we want, because she's ours and we love and RESPECT her, but in most articles they refer to her as simply Condi.

That is so disrespectful. (She was also misquoted about the France thing. She said we should PUNISH France. Not ignore them.)

Sorry for the mini rant. It's just been driving me crazy.

Anyway thanks for the post. Hope you are doing well.

"France has experienced terrorists attacks on it's civilians for decades."

Have they ever had 3,000 people to die in one day from it?

If not, they don't have much room to criticize the U.S.
