eredienWell, really. France'd better be opposing possible joint US/British governance over Iraq. I'd be worried if they weren't. I'm worried that we're considering it, and I live here.
Can't say I'm suprised about the fact, though.
About this early surrendering of some bits of the Iraqi army: I can't put my finger on why it's making me feel this way, but I'm getting a really strong, "Oh, no! Don't throw me into the briar patch, Brer Wolf!" feeling off of this entire war.
It might be silly to talk about the war based on a feeling. But hey, I'm not the only one who's done that.
And, finally, let's be accurate. Kim Jong II is a dangerous, obsessive, psycopathic tyrant with nuclear weapons. Not a "pygmy". I have no use for a person who calls anyone, even Kim Jong II, nasty little names.
