We did for them what they couldn't do for themselves. In fifty years they haven't gotten over it. Who knows how empty the sky is In the place of a fallen tower. Who knows how quiet it is in the home Where a son has not returned. -- Anna Akhmatova (1889-1966)

(Add that second one to Our list BTW) They, with ALL of Europe - failed utterly to simply read Mein Kampff, notice the timetable as it checked off - and remove heads from Murican-style fantasyland. Guilty. Accordingly had to bear goose-stepping Nazis at the Arc de Triomphe. Had their Vichy as Norway its Quisling - but also their share of heroic underground folk. 'Course all of 20th century history can't be done with slogans, even among the illuminati, a comfy 5000 miles away. Still, with both the above egregious national experiences of past 50 years; lots of heaped dead burned bodies: now with Dubya! putatively organizing the most subtle of all the intricate details across a huge Unknown (OR just maybe.. if some of those details are gotten wrong or too hurried: coalescing the Jihad to end All Jihads, from "next door" ??) What would you do as President of Republique? (with French population, GNP - not Murican one) A.

But I also know them too well to assume that they would react to this with anything but the typical "r\ufffdponse fran\ufffdaise". ..most notably to fall out of the alliance and start selling missiles to the other side. With this...they will probably have good company with the Chinese. You were born...and so you're free...so Happy Birthday! _{Laurie Anderson} [link\|mailto:bepatient@aol.com\|BePatient]
