November 17, 2002 -- WHAT makes France's partial U.N. victory over the United States all the more galling is that it is also a triumph for a foreign policy that persistently favors monstrous, murderous - often genocidally murderous - regimes. And yes, the Security Council resolution on Iraq was largely a triumph for France and a defeat for the United States: The French got almost everything they wanted.

I've heard that during German occupation of France, the Frogs planted trees so the German soldiers would have some shade to rest under!

Who cares WHAT France thinks? no one I know- not even many "liberals"... France lost it's credibility long ago (image of filthy truckers blocking the streets of Paris to get yet another Socialist inspired raise, etc.).

Are they the forth member of the axis of evil?

The Quai has been in a funk since Marshal Petain fled.

The French, and the U.N, can jam their silly re-wording "victories" right up into the same stanky canal where they've lodged their pin-heads.

When... not "if"... we strike, it will not be with either French or U.N. approval. They are both, quite simply, irrelevant.

And they did it to themselves.

There are derogatory words for capitalism in English too.

There are also Frenchmen like Jean-Francois Revel (a member of the Academie Francaise) who are willing to stand up in the French press and support the US and free enterprise.

They just don't get too much attention from the leftist US press.

Screw France(cheese-eating,smelly,arrogant,surrender-monkeys.)

as I recall...

The word 'capitalism' in itself is intended to be a marxist derrogetory term for the Free Market system which we shamelessly adopted. Quite simply because we dont give a damn what any handwringing do-gooder leninist thinks of it or wants to call it, Free Market is the BEST (not perfect)economic system that offers the greatest amount of good to the greatest number of people.

But Im ranting pedantically now

To RESTRICT the freedom of a community to celebrate its heritage. How tyrannical and despotic are 'Civil Libertarians' of today. The constitution guarantees the freedom OF religion... now it is twisted into a government and indeed a nation that is free FROM religion.

The deconstruction of the community into wards of the state is the danger in this 'civil libertarian' view. The independence of the states was called into question in the 1860's and the Civil War. A hundred Years Later the more granular independence of the communities is being called into question. I have seen the day coming when the Arbitrary power wielded by the Judiciary would be established on the ruins of liberty abused to licentiousness. (to paraphrase George Washington)
