I suspect that it would also appeal to Osama Bin Laden's sense of irony. Attack the USA from Afghanistan, and you set the USA and GB against France, Germany, Russia etc. He could just sit relax in his cave and enjoy the show on satellite TV. By the way, how does a country that is a net importer of capital as we are, impose a financial boycott? -- The Philadelphia Talk Radio Politics and Opinion Forum

In reply to: JL 's message, "Of course the French, or anyone else, are entitled to disagree with our positions and not support us.
