I'm making a statement of personal/political basis.
I figure that the French probably have as little control over their
government as we here in the US have over ours. I just wish the Middle
Eastern extremists could see this.
Government should be run more like an open source project, anyway.
Ric,
I don't like friends that ever says yes to me; if he think I have a not good
idea, a good friends must say
"not my friend, your aren't right; this you try to do is not good"
And frankly, American have made lots of good think, but also lot of bad ones
and this, the war against Irak it se
Good answer Sridhar!

This is not the place, but perhaps the best way to support the US is to oppose
it's evil tyrant-to-be.

Thank you for the suggestion. But I did my time. 6 years in the Air

This discussion is not about Iraq. It's how making a political choice
affects one's use of Linux Mandrake.

The French gov't may be on a crusade to obstruct America's plans, but
Mandrake's cause is to provide computing freedom, and that's a just cause.

I hate political threads on Mandrake lists, and I disagree with Ric's
choice. Nevertheless, this political decision affects how he uses Linux
Mandrake, and I feel that makes it a valid thread for the list.
Just my 2 cents (painful as it is).

Ric,
I myself disagree with France's actions in the Security Councel and have a
personality inclined to boycotting. Nevertheless, the Linux cause--and
Mandrake specifically--is far more important than the expression of
political disagreement. Remember how Perot split the Republican vote and

Ric,
By the way, I apologize for bad words (like "pathetic"...) I should have thought
that some people are not necessarily aware of cooker, RC, and bugzilla. I think
we just both overreacted. Here in UK time is 8 pm and I am a little tired.
Honestly I hope to see you again on that list.
