Have you ever been to France, Tabs ? Do you even know what you are talking about ? And how do you rank a power ? By the number of bombs a country is capable on dropping on a given city, or by the average weight of its citizen ?

France has used its freedom of speech, and many americans have not liked it. If France were a third rate power, you would not even have noticed it. France has a lot of history and influence in the middle east, like it or not. Did you even know that Bush just asked Chirac to send some troops in Iraq to help maintain order. It looks that our superpower is in some trouble right now: 48 deaths since the official victory, about one a day...

I am back from a trip to France, and I am sick of tired of morons who have never left their farm and call it a third rate power.
