If I remember correctly, there was a case a few years ago when a plane was hijacked and stormed by French police in Marseilles. Later, it emerged that the plan had been to fly the thing into the Eiffeltower.

"The French political consensus is broadly in favor of military action, although left-wingers in Prime Minister Lionel Jospin's ruling coalition have raised increasing concerns over civilian casualties."

Well, in all fairness, I believe the French are relatively backing the US in this little war we have going on. But it amazes me that a country like France, and the people that live there, can be so....well....pacifist....after the recent turn of world events.
