A Real Test For Our Allies

Jacque Chirac, that stalwart of capitalistic, democratic, western power, has recently expressed to the world press that the U.S.'s goal of creating a missile defense shield, which would also protect its allies in Europe, is only more of a reason for Russia to bark and complain about U.S. aggression. The U. S. has reiterated its goals for the defense sytstem and that it is to protect itself against rogue states, e.g. N. Korea, Iran, etc. I have searched my conscious and I have come up with only one reason that a world leader would make himself a significant roadblock to U.S. defense. That reason is money. France has aided Iraq for years while Iraq was under the internationally accepted non locos parentes doctrine set forth through U.N. legislation. Money seems to be a more powerful motive for the frogs. No surprise. France thinks that a complex anti-missile, defense systems that would protect a country from nuclear attack would only give an enemy further reason to attack. Logic does not support that argument. But, fiduciary reasoning does. France helped build Iraq's first nuclear power plant that was conveniantly crushed by Israeli airstrikes. If Europe is fully protected by U.S. weapons sytems, then where does France have to go to find defense contract monies? In lies the French conundrum. The funny thing is that short term memory does not support the French reasoning. Our young men gave more than anyone can give to save the frogs sixty years ago and they spit on us as unlearned western Yankees.

I do not know much but how would France respond when we cut off all ties with their weak-kneed, easily swayed, pathetic excuse for a democracy. Let's give it a shot.
