Damn the French they have gone TOO far! - Page 2

It's a British cemetary, First World War I'd guess. Wonder why they didn't go for an American one?

"Don't forget about 87% of the population is against the war to begin with. I'm actually surprised 44% do support you. Especially since the media shows about as many pictures from CNN as from Al-Jazeera.
Well, that's not an accurate statement, but is a trend nonetheless: today the coverage about the "liberation" of Najraf has shown as many pictures from CNN of a joyful crowd, as pictures from IraqTV of Jihad-prone people."

Yes, but you are theoretically our allies. Even if you think we are making a mistake, one would hope you at least hope your allies are victorious

I hope you'll vote Bush because you like the guy, NOT because he pisses the French

(mind you, his party will use French bashing to get some votes, it'll be Schröder-like)

Let's see if I understand then:

Liberate France from evil dictator = good
Liberate Iraq from evil dictator = bad

The Mad Monk · April 2, 2003, 16:16

At this point, Bush is better than anyone else in the field.

Don't worry, I'll vote for him because I support him. It's just a nice side effect that makes leftists around the world run around in circles like chickens with their heads cut off.

Actualy, France is our ally by treaty, thus not "theoretically" but actually.

How many Turks do you think want the Us to win the war? and turkey is another actual ally. Ask also in Spain, one of the "willing" and see what answers you get.

For those to thick and self-involved to get the message, here it is: The US generally ignored the feelings and opinions of many of tis most important allies (and even in most states called willing most people oppose the war) because our leaders said: "screw you, we don't really need you guys anyway". So, it would be really nice to see the Us get egg on its face and lose, thus proving the Us wrong. Soince losing such a war would be a political disaster for the US leaders, but not in any way fatal to the US, what they basically waht to see is an "arrogant US" gt *****slapped and thus become less arrogant. It is a simplistic minded feeling, but that is what it is anyway.

As for the knuckleheads who did this: lets hope they are caught and whatever the maximum penalty is, they get it.

I just don't like Bush because I'm not the Dictator of the US....

So hoping for the war to go badly, which would mean hoping for the actual deaths of a lot of U.S. soldiers, is morally superior to vandalizing the graves of dead ones?

Interesting...

Thorn · April 2, 2003, 16:26

In a word, Yes.

General Ludd · April 2, 2003, 16:28

They're a bit slow, americans have already started desecrating the graves by digging them up and moving them to the USA a while ago.

Wernazuma III · April 2, 2003, 16:31

THE French? Seems this guy who did it, or that small group, make(s) it to my "idiots digest" list of people who have understood nothing. Such people can be found from the USA over Europe to Russia - safe the Muslim world. But how can this possibly lead anyone to talk about "THE French" who go too far or execute those idiots as "traitors"? If caught, this falls under the crime of vandalism and probably something else, as it's also handled when some Nazi ****** violate Jewish cemetaries.

I'd say that 75% of the planet is against the U.S. in any thinkable way. People hate Hollywood, the american flag, their way of thinking, their loud mouths, their way of sticking their nose in everybodys business, their army, patriotic for no reason, the fact that they think the're alone in the world, the fact that they dont even know what's out of their borders, the fact that they bully other countries, american cars, Barbara Streisand, McDonalds and what comes with it......I could go on and on and on and on....Just like the enrgizer.

Why dont americans see that they deserve all the hate they get?!

Disclaimer: I do not hate the American person, I hate the average ignorant american and the flag.
If you all think that we are your friends, why dont you act like it?!

But there is no excuse in disturbing the dead to prove a point. That is just dispicable.

Cookie Monster · April 2, 2003, 16:55

WRT to those who committed these vandalous acts you should be ashamed of yourself. You are obviously ignorant of history.

Everyone has the right to protest what they disagree/agree with but there are limitations. Those who committed this vile vandalism should be immediately erased. There is no need for trash like that in the world.

No, I'll leave smart-ass in your capable hands.

It's on BBC now too. I don't want to believe it either, but it's true.

KrazyHorse · April 2, 2003, 17:30

Snooze. If I really felt like trolling I'd dig up the articles I've seen lately describing tire-slashings of cars in Florida which had Canadian license plates.

But I'm above that sort of thing, so I won't mention it.

Jaguar · April 2, 2003, 17:31

Hate crimes against Canadians!? WTF? The Canadians never mess with anyone, yet there are millions of Canuck bashers. I don't get it.

My neither.

"Blame Canada" in the South Park movie was funny because it was so incredibly ludicrous.

Life imitates art, it seems.

C'mon. We have like the worlds largest unguarded border w/ our neighbor canada. And they are so ideal neighbors... You're telling me you never suspected "Mr. Rogers" type of neighbor that lives next to you might be conspiring something, or is in the america's most wanted?

Ned · April 2, 2003, 17:40

Spiffor, in a earlier post, you pointed with pride that you were a member of the French communist party. One reason is that the French communist party fought against fascism and Nazism during WWII.

We were allies then.

I only wish we were allies once again against the modern incarnation of fascist evil - Saddam Hussein. Is there anyway we can turn this around and gain support of people like you and the French left?

KrazyHorse · April 2, 2003, 17:40

Our government was considering sending your ambassador back for replacement recently...

france has always had a negative attitude towards thier good neighbours the brits, and now it's worse than ever. The problem lies in the French jealousy and also resentment for what has happened in the past. England and more so America have been sucessful as nations, the French have slid ever since the 1800's. What WW2 proved was that britain was not only a better nation, but we have better PEOPLE. In that war the brits grafted away to win, while the french were cowardly surrendering white flag wavers - This led with US having to liberate THIER capital and that's a great source of embarrasment for them.

Instead of accepting Britain as the better neighbour they seek to hate us instead, and in thier own minds convince themselves we are infact the worse nation. In the end it is France that will suffer, it's come a long way down but it can only plummet further until it becomes nothing but a tourist nation.
