Wutang, I am French, and I am honestly trying to understand the point of view of you people who want war now. Do you give the same courtesy to me ?

If you marry someone, will you assume he/she (are you a he or a she ?) will agree with you about everything ? Will you separate at the first disagreement ?

*sigh* You are not French, so you can't know how extreme an accusation you just made. Vichy indeed. Know that almost 60 years after WWII, there are still wounds that aren't cured yet. And maybe ask yourself why it is that we are so opposed to bombing civilians - if it could not be that we have been in Iraq civilians shoes not so long ago ...

I could tell you LOTS of personal stories, from my parents and uncles and aunts and grandparents, of what a war is REALLY like - from the inside. Not a martial thing of battling evil - but endless miseries. I can't imagine we'll be visiting that again on people, real people, farmers, women, children, whose only sin is to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Please, next time you feel like going all righteous and martial, as the French saying goes, "turn your tongue seven times in your mouth". You have hurt me a lot with that post of yours. [img]graemlins/verysad.gif[/img]
