The war in Iraq is a bad idea, Freedom, in my opinion and in the opinion of many American conservatives. France wasn't the only major player to oppose it -- Germany, Russia, China, India, Japan -- they all went against us. Are they bad enemies, too?

The enemies are the neocons who've taken over the foreign policy of the conservative wing of the executive branch and twist it to Israel's interests. There's nothing conservative about neoconservatism. President Bush is figuring this out, which is why Wolfowitz won't be part of what I hope will be a second Bush term. And Richard Perle's gonna be gone soon as well.

Oh I see Israel is the problem. Now I know where your coming from!

Looks like we got a live one here!

[JIM O]

OK, you hate the Jews we get it.

When we needed France they were not there, and we can expect they won't be in the future. They are not friends.

[Wait4Truth]

Why do you keep trying to bolster your arguement by saying American conservatives were against the Iraq war? Yes, there were some, but the vast majority were pro-war. And I highly doubt that you are hoping for a second term for President Bush. You are a troll.

Oh, perhaps we should make everyone in Israel wear little yellow stars on their chest. Would that be more to your liking?

From your tone, me thinks you are anti-Jewish rather than Conservative...

France wasn't the only major player to oppose it

Opposing it is what many did. That's not what the French gov't did. THey actively engaged in a routine to prevent not only a war, but to prevent the fall of Saddam's regime. That is what is different than innocent opposition to a war. They preferred that Saddam stay in power, and they did everything in their power to keep him there.

That's more than simple "opposition" to Operation Iraqi Freedom. Why do you mislead?

Of course the French bashing is useless bandwidth, but don't try to convince smart people that the French gov't simply "opposed" the war.

Japan did not oppose us,Great Britain did not oppose us,Italy and Spain did not oppose us,Poland was insulted by France but has troops in Iraq.Australia helped us.

Ah, so now the real "philosophy" of Aquculture comes out. You don't like Wolfowitz. He is a Jew after all. Can't have a smart, compassionate Jew in a position of influence, right? No, you'd rather see the French sabotage us than have that happen.

For sure, I think you would happier at a nice French site. There's a lot of anti-Semitism in France. Maybe you will even consider moving there...

[clintonh8r]

Wolfowitz will have a job in this administration for as long as he wants one.

[clintonh8r]

France didn't just oppose the war, France actively campaigned in foreign capitals against US interests. The French government, if not the people, is directly responsible for higher than necessary coalition casualties in the Iraq war.

So the REAL solution is to weed out the Jews from the Bush Administration, eh? Bet you miss the useful purposes your philosophical brethren dreamed up in the 1940's. And don't forget, Arbeit Macht Frei.
