When are we Americans going to wise up? How many times does the French government, led by Jacques Chirac (search), have to put all of us in danger before we get the picture? France is helping worldwide terrorism.
Here's the latest. France has said no to Secretary of State Rice, who asked the Chirac government to designate Hezbollah (search) as a terrorist group. If France would do that, Hezbollah could not raise money in Europe, which it is now doing through various charitable fronts.
There is no question Hezbollah is a terrorist group. It was responsible for killing more than 200 U.S. Marines in Lebanon (search) back in 1983. And since then has murdered thousands of civilians primarily in and around Israel.
The secretary general of Hezbollah, a guy named Hassan Nasrallah, has openly stated that the group's slogan is "death to America." Hezbollah's head of security, a guy named Imad Mugniyah, met at least once with bin Laden and has a $5 million price tag on his head put there by the U.S. government.
Hezbollah is funded and harbored by Iran and Syria. And even the new Palestinian leadership wants them branded a terrorist group because they oppose any peaceful solution vis-a-vis Israel.
Jacques Chirac won't call Hezbollah terrorists. When is enough enough, ladies and gentlemen? When will the American people realize that Chirac and his minions are putting this country and millions of other of people in danger?
So I am again calling for all responsible people not to buy French products, not to travel to France, and to contact the French embassy in Washington, and let them know Chirac's conduct is unacceptable.

I'm not big on O'Reilly, either. Thought you might find it provoking. Glad you realize the Monty Python reference was in jest.
"BTW, what on Earth is the Nuclear Freeze Club?"
I was born and raised a liberal. (I hate to admit it)
When I got into college I got involved in left wing activities and the Nuclear Freeze Movement was going strong and I believed the idea that getting rid of nuclear weapons was a great idea so I joined in.
Then I found out that the REAL goal of the movement was the unilateral disarmament of the USA. They had no plans whatsoever to even ask the USSR to do likewise. Then I dug some more and found the leadership was composed of anti-American and pro-USSR Communists. Real Commies.
Thus I endeavoured to become the *last* President of the Nuclear Freeze Movement at my college. I ran for and was elected to the office and then went to work making sure the movement curled up and died. As it did.
This was the key moment that changed me from a cloudy-eyed liberal to a rational-thinking conservative.
And there you go.
Way ahead of ya, BO'R. I never stop boycotting the steenking French.

but sooner or later the
French way will get you!"
I sincerely hope you're wrong.
Yep--they're Watermans. Now I don't have to stifle my appreciation of them. Thanks.
Amen, ditto!!!!
