...hosted Robert Mugabe in Paris in a pathetic attempt to expand French influence into Anglophone Africa. And here, I thought it was just another attempt to tick intelligent people off, and create more problems for any one
trying to help the unfortunate peoples of the formerly functional country.

Yes lost my cookie deleting Temporary files. Was in "D" for 3 weeks again, my mothers Kidneys stopped working and she is now on dialysis 3 times a week. Sorry about not seeing you, but spent the entire time in the hospital with her. By the way, I live in Florida. Probably have to go again in 4 weeks :_(

Normons were the Vikings who settled in France and sort of took over. Then they sort of took over England.

Thanks for the ping.
I'm a great admirer of Ralph Peters's writing, both his recent political columns and his fictional stories.

This was published in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. Peters was so direct because he knew it would have a shocking effect on the reading audience.
Peters knew exactly what he was doing.
Be Seeing You,

Oh my godness..... I just read the Artikel, written in German in the FAZ!. The German translation ist very harsch, almost brutal compared to the Engl. original.
I don't know, wich one is the correct on.
Did somebody translated wrong, and this done on purpose???!!!
The title is
America's Anger - You Germans digust us

Peters has one of the most penetrating minds around today, along with Robert Kaplan and a few others I'm too tired to think of.

I keep meaning to check out his historical fiction. Didn't he write some Civil War novels?
