Paris has warned Washington it could review its cooperation with the Sept. 11 probe

Gees. Why don't they say it outright: "we support terrorist jurisdiction over France and the US instead of US jurisdiction"

Man, these people better be told they are in big trouble for interfering with US jurisdiction and the war on terror.

When translating French to English, there are bound to be errors. If you read carefully between the lines of the article, you'll get something like the following:

"Go and boil your bottoms, sons of a silly person!"
"I fart in your general direction!"
"Your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries!"
"Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time."

"Paris Warns U.S. Against Moussaoui Death Penalty"

Who was it that invented the guillotine?

I don't think they really "want to go there". France has never suffered the rath of 300 million Americans, many of who can't stand France already. It wouldn't take much publicizing of this nonsense for an all out boycott of everything French.

I think we need to remind the French about:

1) their record of success during the last two world wars,
2) the amount of U.S. tourism dollars spent in an average year,
3) the amount of U.S. foreign aid sent to France in an average year,
4) the amount of French imports brought into the U.S. during an average year, and
5) the fact that the the last time the world considered France a superpower, their Navy was using wooden ships.

So as not to go the way of Doris Kearns Goodwin, I have to give credit to my boss, CG, for the above items.
