'Bin Laden' offers Europe truce

[Gustaf]

Heh...I guess we haven't sunk quite that low here in Europe yet...

Oh I imagine a majority of Europeans would vote to accept Bin Laden's kind offer.

the fools probably will

Ehhh...you're both way wrong. Way, way, way, wrong.

[Gustaf]

I think dunn doesn't mean to call Europeans fools, he is saying that fools in Europe would want to accept it, but the rest wouldn't, he isn't calling us all fools gustaf, that just isn't dunn-like.

Ah...that does sound a lot better.

I don't really believe that Europe is just going to lay down and surrender to Muslims. I have more faith in the Old World then that. But I just find it more then sad that the French would not support us in our time of need. We saved them from Germany twice in 50 years and they treat us like crap. I think Frances' non-involvement has a lot to do with all the weapons they sold to Iraq. I guess they didn't want to go in w/us side by side and we discover French weapons in the hands of our enemies. But I say heck, let the French sell their weapons, they are only going to drop them on sight of any sort of enemy or resistance.

The view of France as cowards is a little odd...France has always done what's in their interest as a nation. It's odd that people expected some sort of solidarity from France, that they would help the US out of gratitude. Germany was worse, really. To understand French foreign policy, one has to forget EVERYTHING about morals. Then it isn't all that hard.

The French are so wishy washy with their policies it's hard to find anything consistent about them.

the high quality of their wine and cheese is pretty consistent .

StatesRights,

I have no idea what you're talking about. France foreign policy is one of the most consistent in the world. France first, plain and simple. China, and most other machiavellian countries are the same.

Yes, in some ways it is consistent. France first and everyone else to hell.

Yep. It's called Gaullism...

Yeah.
