Thanks for the article. It´s disappointing that France is so silly. It´s all against the US in France (and in parts in Germany, too). The difference to my country is, that in France there´s no opposition calling for US-support. In Germany, we have hope. In France, all hope´s gone.

I was in France in October and, even then, people went out of their way to talk to us about our "dangeroux" president.

The refrain was: Americans are naive...don't understand how the world runs. All said with a dripping disdain. (keep in mind, we speak quite adequate French and certainly weren't acting like tourists are so often portrayed). We encountered a visceral hatred for the U.S. administration. they were quick to say they didn't feel this way about the American people, but their words said otherwise.

Next time, I'll go elsewhere.

There will be pretty much no action for at least 4 hours, and more likely 8. It will be 4 hours till it gets dark over here, and the full moon has been rising real early in the evening, it is up before the sun goes down. Figure 4 hours till the sun sets, and another 4 till the moon sets. Then it will be time for the Air Force to play. Why risk lives by flying in the clear skys of day? The targets arn't going anywhere...
