How, exactly, does one pressure France?

Short of standing on their border and shouting at them in German.


On the contrary, I believe we have found the PERFECT method of pressuring
the French (and other so-called "allies") -- we have quite simply
disqualified them from bidding on any reconstruction contracts in Iraq.

This has been "Big News" the last couple of days, as if it were somehow
revolutionary to exclude disloyal nations from reaping the benefits of our
labors. Personally, I call it "justice".

Money talks.


Expect Bush to let them bid after they forgive all or part of the Iraqi debt.

Which should be called the Baathist debt since the Iraqi's never benefited from
it, and they should be collecting it from Saddam.

But still, when they make the cocession of forgiving that debt, Bush will let
them in .
