There only motive is to undermine the U. S.. IMHO, Too stupid to go beyond that.

They said Reagan was too stupid, too.

It's a mistake of the left to dismiss so easily your opponents. The grand scale of French opposition is more than just their being mad at us. They understand the ramifications of their actions and they have decided that it's smart to bet against us. We shouldn't just say they are stupid to bet against us. This is a country and not some schmuck at the track. France must know that there are "pros" to opposing us-- and some of those may be based on how the war goes, which means France may meddle in that, too.

Well, we're all pretty cocky about what will happen. IF (big if, granted), the US gets their comeuppance -- massive casulties, Saddam actually executes a scorched earth policy, and Iraq becomes totally unmanageable after a war, France could be sittin' pretty good in the world's eyes. AND the liberals in America will have lots of fodder.

The truth is, without GWB, we'd never have seen this much moxie from the US.

We are definitely at a VERY pivotal point in world history IMHO.

(and in all honesty, as a student of scripture, in the end, it will take J.C. himself to solve the world's mess)
