Which suposes a French flown Mirage would fight.....


I have no doubt whatsoever that they'd fight. They'd just fight based on
*their* conviction, not ours. Goddamn them for having conviction and not
just following like lemmings. I mean, how dare they?!?!? Must make 'em
all cowards, right?
Sigh.

One could say the same about Osama.

Or maybe the US should have used that excuse a few decades back when their
asses needed rescuing from their now-best-friends the
Nazi's...err...Germans.

The French have no convictions, and that's the problem (other than to do the
opposite of the USA wherever possible and whip up anti Americanism for their
own political benefit). If they had some larger underlying principal at
work, other than pure sanctimony, perhaps we would at least respect them for
it, if not agree with them. But the French are without any morals or
principals, and deserve to be called whatever names we so choose.
