Earth First?
Anti-Frog Sarcasm Torpedo ARMED. FIRE!!
You might be right...
In fact we should applaud this goodwill gesture by the peace-loving peoples of France. Recall that Al Gore (who by the way *REALLY* won the 2000 election before the Supreme Court stole it for Bush) said in his seminal Earth in the Balance that the internal combustion engine was a greater threat to the survival of humanity than nuclear weapons.
So the French are merely practicing that enlightened European unilateral disarmament.
Full Disclosure: The term "seminal" seems more appropriate for Clinton than Gore, n'est-ce pas?
