I admit to browing some newssites to give you people the news you want.

Funny & well-done Photoshop treatment, but.................

Is this the Star Trek Next Generation's Enterprise? Is Picard in command? They always showed him in retirement tending his vineyards in the south of France(?).

Maybe its Kirk?

Speaking which:

Why Kirk Is Better Than Picard
Kirk is a leader, not a follower.
Kirk never really got into that kinky "Jumpsuit" look.
Kirk had an affair more than once a season.
One Word: Hair.
Another Word: Pretty-good-looking-can't-see-the-weave-WIG.
Kirk can beat up a Klingon bare-handed.
Picard is a French man with an English accent.
Kirk would date Beverly Crusher -- and not worry about the consequences!!
Kirk never drinks tea. Ever.
Diplomacy for Kirk is a phaser and a smirk.
Kirk would personally throw Wesley off his bridge.
Two words: Shoulder Roll.
Kirk doesn't wear dresses when admirals arrive for lunch.
Kirk once said: "I've got a belly-ache -- and it's a beauty."
Kirk would never sing to children in a crisis.
Kirk can almost drive a stick shift.
Kirk, almost single-handedly, re-populated the Earth's whale population.
Kirk says "Prime Directive? What Prime Directive?"
Kirk knows 20th Century curses.
Kirk was NEVER infiltrated by the Borg and used against the Federation.
Kirk ate little coloured cubes and still remained relatively healthy.
Kirk made do with obviously low performance technology.
Kirk never pretends to be a barber in order to gain a tactical advantage.
Kirk wasn't shy about taking his shirt off-even around those pesky Yeomans.
Kirk would never waste a holodeck on something stupid like Dixon Hill.
Kirk never once stood up and had to straighten his shirt.
One Word: Velour.
Kirk can beat a Vulcan at Chess.
When Kirk was Picard's age, he retired from Admiral and took to climbing rocks.
When Picard was 37, he was only Captain of the lowly freighter, Stargazer. When Kirk was 37, he was Captain of the flagship Enterprise.
Kirk liked a good belt of liquor every now and again.
One Word: Iman.
Kirk looks good with a ripped shirt.
If Kirk ever met a Ferengi, he would rip off its head.
Kirk says "Shoot first and wait for retaliation."
Kirk's first officer NEVER tells him to stay on the bridge.
Kirk never leaves the room to bawl somebody out.
Kirk doesn't rely on the wisdom of some dumb old janitor to get him out of intergalactic scrapes.
Two Words: Funky Sideburns.
Kirk never asks his bartender for advice.
Kirk never once said "Abandon ship! All hands abandon ship!"
Kirk is not politically correct.
Kirk never got "dumped" by a woman for an intergalactic busy body named after a letter of the alphabet.
Kirk never wore green tights and frolicked about in Sherwood Forest.
If there was ever a Klingon on Kirk's bridge, Kirk would likely be dead.
Ever hear of a bar shooter called "Make it so?" No? How about a "Beam me up Scotty" then? See the difference?
One Word: Miniskirts.

"The current German and French policy on Iraq is obstructionist; it doesn't offer a realistic alternative to the policy of the Bush administration. Because this obstructionism seems irrational I have sought a psychological explanation for the French and German posture.

If you have a more cogent rationale that better explains the French and German position I would love to hear it."

Seems that silence is your only answer ggekko, well done. Interesting reading between you two, but I noticed that Burkeman1 realized he was in far over his head after a couple responses when it resorted to name calling with the Neocon rip and describing your summaries as hit pieces. Nothing could be further from the truth and I suspect even he understood that his drive by snipes didn't relate to you.

I optimistically look at this anti French backlash as a wonderful thing, in that its a wakeup call for the right in America. The French have been trying to undercut us at least since the fall of Communism, and I felt like a lone voice in the wilderness about their blatent Anti capitalist, anti American stances until this flared up. Its in America's national interest not to go to any wars with France. (Not that it would matter)I doubt it even serves any good to boycott them. The summation of this latest episode shouldn't be that America is filled with hatred for the Frenchman.

Its that America should simply not trust the opinions of the Frenchman.

who refuses to reveal his identity

But trivial to look up using "whois". He even gave what looks like a home address. Then it's a short google to a lot of hits, for example, he is or was the secretary-treasurer of AD/UPM/TC West, whatever that is.
