Yes.. 'is Windows stable enough? Do we need more RAM, we're in trouble if Windows sends error message: Not enough memory when we try to surrender via E-mail!'

j/k.

Good grief! Can't you Ameriwhiners just grow up!

France is a democratic nation. Its people didn't want France to back the war, so its government didn't back it.

Would you rather have the US being the only democracy in the world? ..... Well, I suppose you lot would so that then you could invade whomever you please and carp on about how the US is superior to everyone else.

I'll tell you one thing - if it came down to taking sides, Europe would all back France over the US - including Britain. So France is hardly 'screwed'.

**Pekka** · May 17, 2003, 05:09

Rogan Josh, are you sure? Are you sure France hasn't pissed any other European countries off? I'm sure France would get lots of backing, but 100% support is a bit off scale.

**Rogan Josh** · May 17, 2003, 05:11

I'm sure. In fact, it is without question, because undoubtably the US would be the aggressor as usual.

If you think Iraq was some misplaced step in what the Yanks have planned for OBL, I have a bridge to sell you in London.

Was it an obvious step in anti-terrorist efforts? No. However, it was not as if Saddam's hands were clean of the splatter from terrorism, and now... the Yanks are on the ground adjacent to SA, Iran, and Syria. The bases are being moved out of SA. Do you want to buy a clue?

**Pekka** · May 17, 2003, 05:12

Rogan Josh, in case of US being the aggressor, then it might go like you said. If clear one-sided aggression, I agree, we'd all just get behind you, I'm sure.

Chirac, in his greatness and wiseness, has managed to piss many countries and their inhabitants off very mightily. His STFU to Eastern countries was outrageous, and was way more arrogant than any speech held by a Rumsfeld.
His attempt to create a Rhine-centred European bloc is absolutely stupid : as Pekka told brilliantly, what's the use for non-involved country to stop being dependant on the US, only to become dependant of France & Germany ?

Really, the megalomaniacal delusions of Chirac make many Europeans pissed at us despite a high initial support as the leading anti-war country.

**Lancer** · May 17, 2003, 06:21

France pissed all over the relationship and now wonders why it stinks. Stupid ****s.

**Spiffor** · May 17, 2003, 06:25

Yes, yes. Obviously, the US wasn't pissing on the relationship too

Both countries are to blame for this diplomatic failure. But I suppose you'll just blame it all on the French. After all, the French must be guilty of everything bad in the world.

**Lancer** · May 17, 2003, 06:30

Yes, the French are to blame, the US is not. The US didn't piss on the relationship, the French did.

The French are NOT guilty of every bad thing in the world, that's the Canadians.

Well, those with the best reason to be pissed would be us, after the EU-14 farce, where Chirac was the loudest of the dimwits, and the most ardent in keeping the nonsense going.

But guess what - Bush's annoyance factor is so high that Chirac's sins are pretty much forgiven.

"His attempt to create a Rhine-centred European bloc is absolutely stupid"

Well it is, but so far everyone has learned some simple maths lesson, eg that 58 is less than 169.

It was the Americans who aggressively attacked another sovereign nation. It was the Americans who pissed on their relationship with the entire world. Not the French.

It is just that the American kiddies can't take resonsibility for their own actions, so try and find some other reason why the entire world hates them. So they blame the French instead - it makes them happy to have someone else to blame and whine about.

Something smells here.... I think Lancer needs his diaper changing.

**Lancer** · May 17, 2003, 06:46

Eh, Rogan, most of europe supported us. Our relationship w/ the world is great. The French are the ones feeling the squeeze.

"Itwas the Americans who aggressively attacked another sovereign nation. "

Poor peaceful Iraq. :sniff:

**Menlas** · May 17, 2003, 08:50

Wow, a good ol' anti-french thread ! It has been a while since the last one, I suppose some posters here were frustrated...

The funniest thing is, there's always one or two dumb*** to speak about the England/France wars, or WW2

. It has nothing to do with the subject, but I suppose those people don't care about keeping on-topic

.

I'll only say that, if anti-americanism of our medias and politicians had been half as high as France-bashing is in the US, they would probably have declared a war on us

Oh, and by the way...

**Lancer** · May 17, 2003, 09:00

Perhaps, but France came crawling to the US looking for forgiveness.

I LIKE that. Repentant ***** that pissed on the carpet and goes bellying up to the master of the house begging for a break.

Sig THAT.
