Hi Wout

Its a shame the Worrell 1000 was cancelled,-
as an entrant I can forgive the errors as unintentional and hope things are set right .
{a thread topic beginning with the W-1000}

When Chirac and crew backed the U N resolution 1441 then after basically lieing to Colin Powell sided with Saddam and then calculated the lack of resolve to enforce the resolution to further Saddam,s regime by subversion and coersion attempting to influence numerous other countries and now understanding the extent of 12 billion in loans and interests as motive it is not going to be easy to forgive them.

Saddam slaughtered thousands and is responcible for the deaths of an estimated one million over his 30 year reign.

Difficult to argue in favor or support that for any except the extremely pompus .Seems the French would be well served to get rid of Chirac and crew ,--quickly .

The reason for distain towards Chirac and crews manipulations are well founded in fact.
-many of us have friends -family serving overseas ,-A very nice young man was killed in action in Iraq from my hometown ,-A huge service was held that thousands attended for him ,-this duplicated around the country numerous times.

Driving home from the Tybee 500 through West Virginia it was very noticable how proud everyone is of PFC jENIFER lYNCH the prisoner who was rescued by special forces .

Many recognize the U S very diverse often crass culture and the resentment of its influence ,-but hardly reasons that can ever equate to the political subversions that cost U S lives.
Hope you comprehend the difference --
comparing the two --

Cheesy politicians like Chirac are a brief unfortunate footnote in history , hope all recognize this .
I,m not in favor of banning French products built by people that may disagree completely with Chirac ,-but will condemb those like him .

Please spare me the distorted out of time sequence historionics in responce ,-heard them all -

Much of the world is in an ongoing war with terrorist organizations and factions , It is great to see so many Euro countries understand this and work together against it while attepting peace initiatives to resolve centuries old hatreds ,--These will take time .

Best regards
Carl
