        Nah I still eat tacos;) for a few reasons ..... 1. We never have had to bail out the Mexicans and there aren't American graves from 2 world wars there. 2. The Mexicans don't claim to be our friends then stab us in the back. (How do you think the French would react if the Arc de Triumph or the Eiffel tower was destroyed? After they put there hands back down they would be pretty PO'ed) Uptight Ex-Military Republican married to a Commie Lib - How weird is that?

              About point 2. Doug. How is France stabbing us in the back? By not agreeing with our administration’s policies? Have they overtly or covertly said one thing and done another with regard to this? Or, do you feel that they owe us some sort of debt of gratitude and should ask how high when we say jump? Honestly, this whole mentality makes no sense to me. The word abbreviation is awfully long for what it means.

But then there is the quiet invasion (tacitly approved by both major political parties) - an effort to reclaim the Southwest and California. If you spend any significant time in Texas you'll see it is pretty obvious. Mike

                              Good man, Chris. I've been wondering how people feel justified in calling the French backstabbing, ungrateful (blah, blah, blah).. The US stands up and says we're going to attack regardless of who is supporting us, and then people get pissed when another country stands up for whatever it wants to. A bit hypocritical. Although, I see it coming from the media and citizens, more so than our gov't so it doesn't concern me too much.

                                    I feel that the French (and Germans) are two faced when on the one hand they say that they have simpathy for the US and what happened on 9/11, when on the other hand they will turn around and watch a tyrant develop weapons that the UN has specifically forbidden him to have. As far as the arguement that he hasn't attacked the US.... you and I don't really know the extent of his involvement with Al Quada. If the US had stated prior to 9/11 that they were going to eliminate Al Quada because they presented a very real danger to the US, the international "community" would have been outraged. Who here can honestly say they are going to miss Saddaam? Theidea of waitning for another attack and then trying Saddaam in the court of public opinion is foolish and dangerous. The French don't owe us anything other than giving a country that hasn't done them any wrong the benefit of the doubt. The buildings that are destroyed and people that are killed next could be French. Uptight Ex-Military Republican married to a Commie Lib - How weird is that?

But then there is the quiet invasion (tacitly approved by both major political parties) - an effort to reclaim the Southwest and California.
