Subject: Perhaps the French still have not gotten the message -- they are irrelevant -- and no longer trusted either. I sure wish they would be told off ... enough of the diplomatic crap.

Note to Appeasement Activists: Iraqis Cheer U.S. Troops
Even as San Francisco leftists throw temper tantrums, vicious Germans desecrate U.S. flags and fussbudget Frenchmen fret, citizens in southern Iraq are thrilled today to be liberated by U.S. Marines.
As American forces took the border town of Safwan, residents waved. "A woman threw herself at the Marines' feet until a man hurriedly came and led her away," Fox News reported today.
"Americans very good," Ali Khemy said. "Iraq wants to be free."
Another resident told reporters why he welcomed the arrival of U.S. troops. "We're very happy. Saddam Hussein is no good. Saddam Hussein a butcher."
Some townspeople chanted, "Ameriki! Ameriki!"
"Many others in the starving town just patted their stomachs and raised their hands, begging for food," the Associated Press reported.
Frenchie Admits, 'We Look Really Stupid'
Let's recall this quotation from Dominique Dord, a deputy from French President Jacques Chirac's own party: "We would look really stupid if Iraqis applaud the arrival of Americans." Well said.
Perhaps if the blame-America-first extremists, foreign and domestic, got to experience life under a genocidal dictator for a few years they would finally stop hating the U.S.

SurveyGuy, have you noticed the crazy formatting to Surf's and my posts below? Voy was doing some updates, etc., and, although these posts looked find at first, the new changes affected those post which seem to have been posted during Voy's tinkering.Although it might sound like a joke the following is NOT a joke and is for serious consideration. The French are irrelevant and Chirac is attempting to ensure the he and the French have some importance on the world's stage. (click to read more)

Although it might sound like a joke the following is NOT a joke and is for serious consideration.
The French are irrelevant and Chirac is attempting to make himself and the French have some importance on the world's stage.
France has a population of approximately 60 million with a total of 6 to 6.5 million Muslims. The French Government, including Chirac, did, in fact, use government funds to help build Mosques, etc., to cater to Muslims (about 1 in 10 in France are Muslim).
France is also rife with overt anti-Jewish sentiment. Jews have been harassed and even attacked in the streets, their synagogues and homes have been vandalized, etc. This has also taken place in Germany. The ambassador to Great Britain, while attending a social engagement, was quoted as referring to Israel as "that shitty little country."
Many French have commented, with trepidation, at the changed face of much of France, including Paris, with its cityscape dotted with mosques and Arab/Muslims. Along with that France is dealing with Algeria, Ivory Coast, etc. France's imperialism and colonialism, which some accuse the US of, marks them historically with a black mark. They are catering to terrorists (Palestinian Authority receives approximately $20 million or more from France; France is/was Iraq's # 1 business partner).
The French have a very large and heavy weight they are carrying around and they have even tried to bully the former Eastern European/Soviet bloc with threats and posturing.
The best thing that could happen is that all of Europe; GB, the Eastern Bloc, Italy, Spain, Portugal, etc., turns their back on France and France, who has already been the victim of terrorist bombings in the past, wakes up and deals with her fear of Islamic violence and joins the rest of the West in fighting Islamofascist militancy and terrorism once and for all. Otherwise, due to France's complicity with Islamofascist militants and Arab terrorists and her blatant efforts to placate terrorism while attempting to hold the US in check, or, if you prefer, "contain the US" (rather than the likes of Saddam Hussein) France, along with Belgium, really should be considered a potential target for invasion and regime change in an effort to ensure a more secure future for not only the United States but all of Europe as well.

Yes, I saw the /r/n sequences. They seem to have stopped. Don't know the problem, but they resemble Perl tags in certain CGI commands. Probaly just a programming glitch they have corrected. -- SurveyGuy, 16:43:25 03/23/03 Sun (NoHost/68.81.153.197)

SurveyGuy, it appears these glitches reared their ugly heads again in your post. (grin) -- William, 19:59:02 03/23/03 Sun (NoHost/68.83.107.210)

Ask the little boy at the bottom of this page whether he's cheering the US troops http://www.aljazeera.net/news/arabic/2003/3/3-23-11.htm - probably not, they blew his head away -- Chris Henry, 07:14:22 03/23/03 Sun (cache1-2.ruh.isu.net.sa/212.138.47.11)

...as broadcast from Qatar, home of Gen Franks HQ, not from Baghdad. Who's going to be first to suggest that it's done with Photoshop? -- Chris Henry, 07:22:32 03/23/03 Sun (cache10-2.ruh.isu.net.sa/212.138.47.29)

Chris, thanks for your contribution.With Iraq and Saddam Hussein I have not trust at all, nor do I have much trust for al Jazeera who does slant their news against the West and the US. I don't trust their propaganda machine. I do, however, trust the news outlets which have been broadcasting this war for the reporters are actually in the fight, not in some safe room outside of Iraq but right there where the action is. Nevertheless, you really don't seem to get it, Chris. There are going to be casualities. That is a fact. -- William, 15:44:40 03/23/03 Sun (cache-dq01.proxy.aol.com/205.188.209.133)

(part II) On the other hand this coalition has been doing an excellent job at minimizing Iraqi civilian causalities while focusing on the Saddam regime and his leadership and military targets. Saddam and his thugs, on the other hand, are positioning themselves among civilians using them as shields. All the Iraqi leadership has to do is surrender and step down and this war will be over. Why don't you tell Saddam and his henchmen to do so, Chris? Saddam and his regime have collectively abused, tortured, imprisoned, raped, and murdered millions of Iraqi men, women, children, and babies. -- William, 15:50:32 03/23/03 Sun (cache-dq01.proxy.aol.com/205.188.209.133)

(III) The dissolution of Hussein's regime will finally bring an end to that suffering and there will be many tens of thousands to millions of Iraqi men, women, children, and babies who will not be abused, starved, tortured, and murdered by this regime ever again. This war is right and just and long overdue. If there is anything wrong with this war aside from the fact that it should have been done long ago is the fact that there are people protesting against it and protesting against the US, G B, Bush and Blair, and anyone else who is helping to bring peace, prosperity, and freedom to Iraq. -- William, 15:57:51 03/23/03 Sun (cache-dq01.proxy.aol.com/205.188.209.133)

(IV) If there is anything wrong with this war it is that the French government, with Jacques Chirac, along with a few others like Russia, China, and Germany, are in bed with Saddam and have taken the wrong side in this. Had the world united as one against Saddam, this conflict could possibly be over a long time ago. Instead these people have helped prolong this problem and have condemned the Iraqi people to hell. Finally they will be freed from this hell. God Bless America and God Bless President Bush. -- William, 16:01:08 03/23/03 Sun (cache-dq01.proxy.aol.com/205.188.209.133)

(V) God Bless the Iraqi people. God help the poor, misguided anti-America protesters, and the misguided UN security council members who went back on their agreements such as resolution 1441 and who allowed Iraq to ignore all 17 UN resolutions. I have already seen the smiling faces of the Iraqis dancing in the streets and tearing down the larger than life photographs of Saddam Hussein after their towns have been liberated. There will be more dancing and celebration among the Iraqi people once their demonic, sadistic tormentors are removed and this weight is finally lifted from their chests. -- William, 16:06:15 03/23/03 Sun (cache-dq01.proxy.aol.com/205.188.209.133)

OK, show us pictures of the smiling faces of the Iraqi people dancing in the streets, and we'll all believe you. The only pictures I see, from any side, are dead and injured. -- Chris Henry, 23:51:35 03/23/03 Sun (cache10-2.ruh.isu.net.sa/212.138.47.29)

No, Chris! You open your eyes and look at them. They have been shown for days now and if you missed them then perhaps you will finally see them. If you have seen them and chose to ignore them, then to paraphrase Michael "Mr. Fiction as Fact" More "Shame on you, Chris! Shame on you!" -- William, 18:22:19 03/25/03 Tue (cache-rf05.proxy.aol.com/152.163.188.165)

OK, I missed them. Give me a URL and I'll go and have a look. Otherwise I don't believe you, and I'm not ashamed to say so. -- Chris Henry, 00:58:01 03/26/03 Wed (cache8-2.ruh.isu.net.sa/212.138.47.27)
