January 23, 2003 -- WASHINGTON - France and Germany yesterday escalated their opposition to military action against Iraq as "the worst of all solutions" - and blocked NATO from agreeing to offer support to U.S.-led forces if there's a war.

NUKE FRANCE NOW!

Don't insult the Cubs that way. The Cubs won the World Series twice during the last century. That's a better record than France.

You left out France's one big win. Against Greenpeace.

The United States last week asked NATO for indirect military help if there's a war, mostly to protect Turkey

NATO has no choice but to defend Turkey. That is what NATO was created to do! If it doesn't, there is no reason to maintain NATO at all. And if it doesn't, Europe will have VERY LITTLE credibility left at all when it comes to resolving the Israel/Palestinian conflict.

The EU is making very bad moves.

Didn't they lose that one?

You're right. I feel bad. Even the Cubs deserve better than to be associated with the frogs.

Now, the Red Soxs.....
