Why is this a good thing? Why is everyone so harsh on countries that DON'T want war? France and Germany have in the last century been part of 2 wars, that cost thousands of lives. Both france and germany should be applauded for searching for a diplomatic solution to the situation in the Middle East instead of being eagar to rush off and spend billions of dollars to destroy, kill and mame.

War has become sanitized to the point that it's easy. Both france and germany are painfully aware of the horrors of war, something that we as americans have, for the most part, only viewed through tv and movies.

War causes more war, there are people dying right now, today, this very moment... let's not forget that.

War, fighting and death are bad, plain and simple. We as a world need to stand up against war, we as Americans need to be the example for the rest of the world. If we, can show the rest of the world that strong diplomacy works, how long will it be before the rest of the worlds aggressors follows the example.

IMOHO, agression should be the last recourse, after ALL diplomatic options have run out.

Ask yourself this question, why, even before a true diplomatic solution was looked for from the UN, where massive troops built up in that region? The popular believe is that France and Germany have alternative motives, but is just possible, that they truely seek a peaceful solution and it is US that has the alternative motives.

Ask yourself the question, why do we say F*CK france and Germany for wanting a peaceful solution to this situation?

I notice that you do not mention ANY of the billions that SoD@mn Insane has spent to 'kill and mame' his own people among others. Not to mention the aid and comfort he gave to those who flew OUR airplanes into OUR buildings.

"War causes more war"

When's the last time you heard anything from Kaddafi??? Sometimes it seems a couple of Mk 82s on top of their heads seems to be the only thing these people understand. Which makes Hussein even more of a madman since he did'nt seem to learn this from the first Desert excursion.

"If we, can show the rest of the world that strong diplomacy works, how long will it be before the rest of the worlds aggressors follows the example."

Trust me, the rest of the world's bozos are taking strong note of what has/is/will be happening to their Iraqui buddy. How soon do YOU think they will be interested in having the same "shock and awe" dropping on their heads??

No offense intended Brian but IMHO that is about what your opinion is worth...which I'm sure is what you think about mine.

The french don't like war because they're always losing.

It's been published and posted everywhere, but I keep thinking of the now-oft-quoted statement, "not bringing the french to battle is much like not bringing an accordion when going hunting..." and it makes me smile every time it comes to mind.

What does one expect from a nation that still can't wear a beret properly, and that prides itself on socialism and eating snails?
