Thank God that this it was only 11,000 French citizens in their peaceful nation.... Had any number of Iraqi citizens died for any reason, Bush and the USA would never hear the end of the French Commendation!

I understand this loss of French live is more acceptable to the French that the loss of life in Iraq!
