lilbabyleg,
well, in terms of terrorism i think most people involved in politics see it the same way.......
id say almost everyone is against the US in going to war, and i can understand why
but.......if they shouldn't be asking for help and blaming other countries on the situation if they're not going to agree with anyone else in the current "war against terrorism"......
if anything, they should blame themselves for not taking extra security measures within the country during a time of war.....dont you think?
i don't agree with US politics nor do i agree with Tony Blair's stance on the situation, however, i don't think that anyone from france should complain seeing as they're not supporting both the US or England

twooh,
Maybe it would help to understand the statement bit better if you knew bit more about the country. France has lots of settlers of middle-eastern origin. France used to colonize lot of the arabic countries and thus there is definately a special connection. UK has not really been aware of the problems, because they have their own Pakistani minority with generally a little bit milder strain of Islam background. The biggest problems in France have been that generally the new comers have wound up at poor neighbourhoods and nothing good comes from that. Terrorism is just another form of self-expression for the oppressed. Of course the self-expression could take other forms. Sometimes little bit of graffiti isn't all that bad.

Don't include me in your generalizations though. I know plenty about France and the history of their colonization. Yes, of course there are middle-eastern types and North African types of Muslim faith in their country. Obviously man, they colonized those areas. Most of North and Central Africa speak French. I lived in Africa for 3 years in countries that were either colonized by France or were next door neighbors. I could go on and on about the atrocities committed by European powers, but then again why should I bash other countries. I will leave to the people wanting to bash USA. Keep going, you only look ignorant in doing so.

PS, long live France, I love you France

JasonX,
I addressed my post to the original poster twooh. So no generalizations were made. All I meant was that it helps to know or learn a bit about a country to understand the game. I don't think twooh was taking a stand on any side. He was just curious. You needs to chill.
BTW. Anyway were you been, JazX? Haven't seen you here in a while.
