Typical of the janus-like Chirac the-weather-vane, trying to satisfy buddies in heavy industry and arm industry. Well, what can I say, if it isn't already obvious, "normal" people here with a brain and a heart are similarly disgusted. I can think of a recent event involving a nation we all know but which will remain anonymous, wherein the "leadership" decided to do something that a significant minority felt was morally or ethically repugnant despite any objections that were raised. As events unfolded it became increasingly clear that the minority were much more right than anyone wanted to believe. Intemperance, however, carried the day, and continues to do so in that nation. It seems to me that no one in that nation has the right to be casting any stones at another, and that many from that nation will understand your sense of sickened horror at what is perpetrated on your behalf by people whom you do not support. -- Warren Ockrassa, Publisher/Editor, nightwares Books http://books.nightwares.com/ Current work in progress "The Seven-Year Mirror" http://www.nightwares.com/books/ockrassa/Flat_Out.pdf ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l

Nice find :) I can't see in his words where he actually says he supports preemptive war, but then I have not read the anti-succession act. Again, it's just a lot of global political bullshit. Don't think I ever thought that highly of the French. I put them in the same self interested, greedy, lying manipulative group of governments as umm, the Italians, the Australians, the Chinese, the Americans etc etc etc etc etc. Andrew ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l

Oh, the latter. The article never actually spells out the obvious. I wonder if the reporter was biting his lit as he wrote it? But it does make things pretty clear, doesn't it? We're certainly in agreement on that point. "Go ahead, Mr. China, kill your neighbor if you feel you need to, but first, could you sign this check?" I would imagine that there are some people in France who are disgusted with it, but there are probably plenty more who see it in a positive light: The Premier is looking out for French interests while keeping out of China's internal affairs.

Gautam, The amazing thing about this article is how _blatant_ it is. Is it that you think the _article_ is blatant (biased towards or against France and/or China), or the willingness of the French Premier to support China's bombast in exchange for Airbus contracts and the like?
