#1 dream on witch. You can come in Iraq when either we, or the new Iraqi govn't deem that you can. But I don't expect that we or they will be forgetting all the assistance you provided to rid them of Sadaam, The People Shredder, any time soon.

Bluster all you want. But if you want to keep your cushy job, I suggest you convert to being Muslim. Once they get a little stronger hold on your country, there won't be room for an infidel like you.

#3 American aspirations for economic supremacy as well as assertions of cultural and political supremacy.

what the f@!*.....

so we are supposed to reduce our economic output because whinning eurotrash cannot keep up....

as for culture - it is not our fault your own people perfer american culture over thier own - we did not go and force these people.

as for political - same as economic - put some real teeth behind your diplomacy and stop assuming you will be listined to just because your are french.

the europeans have created their sad state of affairs. by depending on uncle sam to handle all the nasties issues they have become somewhat of joke - their ability does not match their mouths/aspirations. and from what i see it is only going to get worse.

#4 Why do the French keep missing good opportunities to shut up?

#5 I'm stunned by the cultural supremacy comment. The US is one of the few countries in the world that doesn't have a "domestic content" law for TV, radio, and movies.

And, hell, the French are so convinced of the superiority of their culture they have to pass regulations on words.

#7 I see that France has finally reached the rare ~~heights~~depths as the premier bottom-feeder in Europe. Believe me, it takes something to edge out Bosnia, Montenegro, and Turkey, but France has succeeded.

Two more successes like this and France will be a province of San Marino.
