12. The thing that I find perplexing
is that the French have had such a long history of dealing with colonies and Islamic nationalism disguised as fundamentalism and nobody in the US government or the media shows any indication that the Franco cautious approach to terror is well founded....

And they were only being cautious, not obsructionists....

forget about the Revolutionary War, look at the post WWII period to really get a grasp of what France was going through...

Also, they have a large and vocal Muslim population that no one ever considered when they expressed caution, caution.

No one remembers the bombing and kidnapping that plagued Europe in the from the late 50's through the mid 80's.....

Oh well, what do we expect from a crowd that is pushing intelligent design as a viable theory to explain the way things are....
