Don't worry, France, we will indeed use American "reason". It's different than French "reason".
Yup.
Alain Richard, his defence minister, said the attacks were "not acts of war".
Wonder what they'd think if terrorists slammed into the Eifel Tower, followed by an obliteration of the Louvre. Of course, the body count wouldn't near that of the WTC.
Instead of a "belligerent" response, how about a volley of Nerf rockets, followed by ground troops weilding wet noodles and ping-pong ball guns. Or just maybe a super soaker or two, just to show them who's boss.
Most likely, that would be to unseemly for our malaise obsessed, squat-to-piss, 30% unemployed artist friends.
Perfectly predictable.
France:
Go F**k yourselves, cheese-eating surrender monkeys.
Reason? We've got a reason! In act we have lots of reasons.
They just killed 8,000 of our men, women and children in a cowardly and unprovoked attack on innocent civilians, wrecked two of our largest office buildings, knocked down around 15% of our Pentagon, crashed 4 of our airliners and in generally screwed up what should have been an overall pretty good week for our nation.
Then they danced in the streets over it.
They are calling for American reason? We have millions of them!
As long as he's not killing *me* or mine, I can be friends with Ted Bundy....He never did anything to *me*...
/sarcasm
Ahhhhhh, now that I got that out of the way..... I'd just like to say that the straw that broke the camel's back with regards to how I feel about France came when they would not let American planes fly over their country in preperation for our attack on Lybia back in the 1980s.
SCREW FRANCE! SCREW FRANCE! SCREW FRANCE! SCREW FRANCE! SCREW FRANCE! SCREW FRANCE! SCREW FRANCE! SCREW FRANCE! SCREW FRANCE! SCREW FRANCE! SCREW FRANCE! SCREW FRANCE! SCREW FRANCE! SCREW FRANCE! SCREW FRANCE! SCREW FRANCE! SCREW FRANCE! SCREW FRANCE! SCREW FRANCE! SCREW FRANCE! SCREW FRANCE! SCREW FRANCE! SCREW FRANCE! SCREW FRANCE!
I would suggest to these pusillanimous Nazis and Nazi sympathizers that they had better either stop holding back any special information which proves that these terrorist acts are "not acts of war" or else shut their lying mouths.

SIR - I have this advice for President Bush. Declare war on Afghanistan at once for harbouring Osama bin Laden, with the warning that peace will not follow until he is captured and tried by the UN in the United States. Issue an ultimatum that any nation succouring or supporting Afghanistan will be treated as having declared war on America.
Prepare an invasion force and occupy the country. A single division well supported in the air should be sufficient. More occupation troops may have to follow. If bin Laden escapes, declare war on whichever nation harbours him.
Although elderly, I am still remarkably fit, engaging in hard manual labour. I should be pleased to serve as a foot soldier in any invasion force. Those of us with experience of Nazism know how to respond.
This is more typical than that Guardian crap posted earlier today.
For most of the 20th Century, the national motto of France was, "Surrender now, avoid the rush".
I see that they plan to maintain it for the 21st Century as well.
