I find it very funny, almost scary, but probably for different reasons than the sender.
The jokes are lame, but the funny/scary part is how many of the Americans refuse to drink French wine
and are putting the French people down.
If you guys are gonna put down all the people that don't want to support this mass-killing of
Iraqi civilians, you will have to put down almost every country in the world. Including the UK - their prime minister
is war-happy, but 80% of the English are not.
I do think that Saddam is very mean and cruel guy (it is almost comical that long after Saddam committed his
first major atrocities, he was still supported by the USA, was given loads of anthrax and weapons).
There are many ways how to disarm Saddam. The war is the least acceptable way, because part of that war is
to bomb a city. City with normal people like me and you, many of who hate Saddam as much as we do - except
they are so well controlled that they cannot voice it. Other of them love Saddam because they are brainwashed
and thus nationalistic, but they are not the only ones who are Big Nationalists these days.
I am not anti-american. But after seeing a lot, I am against wars. They are and should be the last resort.
And I am also against a government that proclaims that it will not obey the United Nations if the UN will not do
what that government want. That is dangerous and immoral.
Stalin used to say - who is not with us is against us.
Stalin killed 20 million people.
Iraq does not have 20 million people, so that is a relief.

"The French are a smallish, monkey-looking bunch and not dressed any better, on average, than the citizens of

sitting inside and drinking large glasses of whiskey I don't know." --- P.J O'Rourke (1989)

Letterman
How many Frenchmen does it take to change a light bulb? One. He holds the bulb and all of Europe revolves
around him.
Next time there's a war in Europe, the loser has to keep France.
