On a side note, bit harsh on France, wasn't it?

I challenge every country in the world to pull forth its municipal politicians and say truthfully, "these people don't have half-baked ideas that won't see the light of day unless they are picked up by an overtly biased news source looking for dirt."

The Jerusalem Post is NOT a source I'd trust for accurate and halfway balanced reporting at the best of times, never mind when they toss "Communist" around so much (as Lucern pointed out). Gee, maybe that's a tactic to inflame those readers of theirs whose families escaped from the USSR...
