It's not a race issue.

We make the same comments about any idiots who act like that.

If you want to criticize Chirac ok... But please don't say that all
the
french are monkeys or make stupid and false comments on French
cowardy...
Remember Die Bien Phu or french resistance against nazis... Your
(american)
behaviour is very offensive to me and to europeans.... And also
Russia,
Germany, Mexico, Canada, Chile ecc was against usa on Iraq
resolution
remeber this...


So your original point should have been for Americans to withhold their
criticism of the French while the Europeans criticize the US? Thanks to
your message we now have another chance to start the international
criticism of those that put teeth into the UN and those that hide behind
the UN to avoid doing much, even when it is required. With as little as
the Europeans contribute to international security, it doesn't matter
much if they like the US or not. Often their contribution is only a
token gesture which gives them more pride than the US real assistance.
