#1 the most disgusting thing about this saga was the libyans were finally about to pay reparations to the families of the victims when FRANCE started blocking proceedings!

Don't ask for any help from MY country when dealing with your heat wave!

#2 Old EUrope will do most anything to stick it to Americans. It's just the tip of the iceberg.

#3 It's not that we had anything to do with it, but we're just coughing up a couple of billion just because we feel bad about it.

#5 I think the world has to finally see France for what it actually is. Pathetic. France in the last ten years has really gone off the deep end.
Between their opposition of bombing Serbia, their reluctance to go into Kosovo, their active anti-US activities pre-during-post war Iraq, their attempt to dominate the EU politically and this latest fiasco, the only thing that is truly unbelievable is that they're too blind/stupid to see it. It's like they've developed Alzheimers (sp) or something. (No offense intended to those that do suffer from this disease. I should never compare someone (even my enemies) to the French. Going even "too low" has a limits.

#6 IMHO,France blocked Lockerbie deal:1/10 greed,1/10 remind world France important,1/10 top French leadership hatred/contempt for Bush Administration,2/10 retaliation for US actions against France(Paris Air No-Show,no tourists,etc.),and 5/10 hard elbow to England's ribs to let England know if Eng. wants to be part of Europe she has to deal with France.
