Sounds like Chirac ought to loosen up a little bit. He is like a lot of Frenchmen...He walks around with his shorts on a little too tight!!!!

"It's a bit as if I explained to the United States how it should conduct its relations with Mexico," snapped Chirac." - no it's not! President Bush is president of the USA whereas chirac is just president of one of the member states of the EU. If a governor of a state of the US (a wimpy cheese eating surrender type state) told the EU what to do then that would be like chirac telling the US how it should conduct its relations with Mexico! - Typical french maggot getting out of his pram!

Chirac now says, "We are friends (of the United States), we are allies. We are not servants."

We are not friends you backstabbing, cheese eating surrender weasel. You were a worthless ally and we would rather employ illegal aliens from Mexico than let you serve us anything.

I will cheer the next army that invades you.

"When you have a Formula One car in the garage," he said, "you are not going to risk bashing it up in the mountains of Afghan."

I know it's petty, but I just can't resist... :)

You do know that Chirac's antagonisim against America has nothing to do with socialisim. Chirac is a right winger while our ally Blair is a socialist.

PS: What I meant is that Chirac is against America for French reasons not associated with socialisim.

Our allies in Iraq have nothing to do with left or right wing.

Our biggest allies in Iraq are Italy - right wing - Poland-run by the ex-communists now called socialists - UK run by the Labour party of the left and Australia - a conservative govt - Spain pre election was our ally and ruled by a right wing govt until the left won - Germany - socilist.

It is all over the place - so inserting left and right into Iraq is off the mark.

Sorry for the nuances.

The world has seen just how much Chirac helped and protected old Saddam. Wonder if JFKerry will find himself in a "pit" just like old Saddam?

Yeah, well put, the struggle between the Islamicists and the quite secular armed forces will (already has) compromised Turkey's ability to respond to terror. As a non-negotiable precondition to join the EU, Turkey had to drop a bunch of capital penalties, as well as permit Kurdish language use in Kurdish areas. Another article (I've posted it somewhere around FR) analyzed the strong Turkish Moslem support for EU membership (kind of a "born again" move, as stricter Moslems tended to oppose EU membership in the past) and linked it to some other EU requirements regarding free practice of religion. That will require alteration of the Turkish constitution, which guarantees a secular state.

The French crackdown on Moslem attire (particularly among females) and the display of religious emblems is also a violation of EU principles, which probably is a good idea as regards Moslems in France (and in the US -- we all remember the lawsuit regarding a US-born recent convert to Islam, living on the lam from Illinois, refusing to let her face be photographed for her Florida driver's license -- the suit failed AFAIK). It's a good bet that France will be the next nation to suffer widespread terror attacks, despite the decades-worth of anti-libertarian legislation in that country.
