I don’t understand why everyone has gotten down so much on France on the issue of their involvement in Iraq... they are not only closer to Iraq and have a higher Middle Eastern population but have also recently, within the last year, had been trying to outlaw
Religious Attire in schools in France. As you can imagine, this didn't go over well with people of Middle Eastern descent. With all this going on added with the bombs going off in train stations in
Spain (and having also found bombs in
French train stations train stations) I can see exactly why they didn’t just jump on the bandwagon with Dubya and go head first into what almost seems like a NeoCrusade.
