Opposing Operation Iraqi Freedom isn't a bad thing, JB. A lot of good Americans opposed it, too, including conservatives.

That's not what the french did.... they "opposed" the liberation of Iraq about like the Ba'ath party did. They were just too scared to use guns.

When one takes unethical and deceitful steps to oppose an issue, it is not honorable.

Having said that, the French bashing that grinds your grits so is fairly minimal on this thread and we are discussing the flight cancellations and what the concrete reasons were, so please cease.

Yes it was a bad thing. And a few Pat Buchanan conservatives don't equate to 80% of the French people. You are attempting to be deceptive in your comparisons, imo.

Opposing Iraqi Freedom did us harm and therefore was/is a bad thing. France could have helped take Iraq without a shot being fired, but instead chose to actively try and sabotage us. That is not ok. As I suggested, perhaps you would happier on a French site...
