#11  ".. Paris had no objections to China’s anti-secession law aimed at Taiwan"

Perhaps because France plans on slipping a anti-seccession law into the EU charter.

#10  Which, by implication, leaves the Taiwanese defeated and stuck in France. Why do you hate the Taiwanese, Tom?

#9  "French Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin Thursday said Paris had no objections to China’s anti-secession law aimed at Taiwan"

Taiwan should declare war on France. They could move to France and drive the French into Monaco. That would get them away from China and would give the French at least a chance to win at something.

#4  Ah, come on guys. As the Ivory Coast events have shown, the French know how to operate a modern colonial empire and therefore certainly sympathize with fellow colonial empires. However, they failed to mention to their Airbus customer, that you need to be absolutely sure you'll win before even attempting any coup d'main.

#3  Raffarin also sold them 30 airbus... gotta please the buyer.

The French press is awfully quiet about the Taiwan thing.

#2  AP, you are pesimist. I, as an optimist, say that Frawnce can sink lower always, lickety split.

#1  Just unreal. When one cannot believe that Frawnce cannot sink lower........they sink lower. Hope Air Frawnce has only good people on their flights around North America. No Fly List folks can make AF lose lots o' Francs.
