Well, maybe you´re disappointed by the "unrestricted solidarity" promised by Chancellor Schröder. Ok, me too.
Maybe you get angry about the attitude of the nations being opposed to a war against Iraq. Feel free to do so.

But please explain me, why can´t you tolerate different opinions? Hey, you call for an attack against free and democratic nations. France and Germany pose no threat to anyone. Except for the moral of the US services.
I never heard that this was an justification for war.

So, you have your opinion (war is necessary), let others have their own opinion (war is unjustified), too. We live in the free parts of the world. Make your contribution for this great shape!!

We can also hope that when they are in trouble, they are on their own then too. Their time will come.

It is so ungrateful for the Germans and French to act the way they both are. It is fine to disagree with us about war with Iraq. But they should say they will vote no to the resolutions considering military action.

They should not, however, blantly recruit other countries to oppose us, and hamper us at each turn. You might say they owe us to be a little better than that. And if it is true that Germany does not help Americans with detection of WMD, etc, then they can certainly go straight to HELL!!

Retribution for them after this war will be a pleasure to watch.

Because France and Germany have both profited from over 50 years of unrestricted solidarity from the US, and now, when the US acts in it's own self defense, Germany and France do nothing but obstruct.

The Germans were reluctant to provide support for the Afghan Campaign. They are outright blocking the Iraq campaign.

Let me tell you something Michael. The American presence in Germany was NEVER a popular with the people of America. It was a necessary "evil" (standing Armies in times of peace to prevent war). You can call it occupation if you like to decieve yourself.

Now, after over 50 years of unrestricted solidarity with Germany & NATO, Germans are "in danger". What do we hear from the German Defense Minister? Oh, if things get too hot, we'll pull out of Afghanistan. Oh, our Fuchspanzers aren't there to actually DO anything, so if you need them - go to hell.

I'm sorry Michael. This is NOT what friends and allies do to one another. Your media and your politicians (with several exceptions...) have been badmouthing America in general for a very long time now. Now Bush is President and, although he is saying EXACTLY the same things the the darling Klintoon said about Iraq and the need to act unilaterally if need be, from the beginning he was criticized and lambasted.

Lastly, France and Germany (and Russia & China) are psing a very serious threat to world peace and stability if they continue to provide weapons to Iraq, Iran, NK etc... The only reason the Axis of Weasle is opposed to the War is because they have too much to loose financially.
