Actually both in France and Germany the conservatives wings have spoken out in solidarity with the U.S. against the policies of their governments...blah-blah-blah...
Oh, yeah, they're so conservative that they have proclaimed socialists and communists in government on a regular basis. So similar to the U.S., aren't they?
I've known some frogs. Nice enough people. But Lefties and French cultural imperialists, beginning to end.
France's strange behavior is reminiscent of someone who's concealing a crazy aunt in the attic. There's something very nasty in Iraq they don't want us to find. And the opportunity to split NATO in order to further their idiot notions of European supremacy are simply daft. The Germans, not the most politically astute people in the Western world, will naturally fall for it.
But the rest of Europe may be thinking long and hard about the new European Constitution and the upcoming referenda on it, given a good picture of what is likely to come if they approve it. NATO may be weakened but France and Germany and Belgium are damaged goods as NATO allies and will eventually wish they hadn't been so impatient to knock the U.S. down. It's going to backfire on them. First, they're not going to get a piece of the post-war Iraqi pie and they aren't going to get the existing Iraqi debts paid at all. They will have sought and earned the enmity of the ruling classes of both Turkey and the future Iraqi state. Not to mention Israel. And the approval of the strange new (French-dominated) European Constitution may fail or get bogged down for many years as a result of what they've done.
So you can have your damned conservative frogs and you're welcome to 'em.
