In light of the French stating that they would Veto any action against Iraq that we may propose before the Security Council of the UN, I thought this email from a US Marine serving in Bosnia would put things in perspective.
From a Marine in Bosnia. (Note the signature)
A funny thing happened to me yesterday at Camp Bondsteel (Bosnia):
A French army officer walked up to me in the PX, and told me he thought we (Americans) were a bunch of cowboys and were going to provoke a war. He said if such a thing happens, we wouldn't be able to count on the support of France.
I told him that it didn't surprise me. Since we had come to France's rescue in World War I, World War II, Vietnam, and the Cold War, their ingratitude and jealousy was due to surface at some point in the near future anyway. That is why France is a third-rate military power with a socialist economy and a bunch of faggots for soldiers.
I additionally told him that America, being a nation of deeds and action, not words, would do whatever it had to do, and France's support was only for show anyway. Just like in ALL NATO exercises, the US would shoulder 85% of the burden, as evidenced by the fact that the French officer was shopping in the American PX, and not the other way around.
He began to get belligerent at that point, and I told him if he would like to, I would meet him outside in front of the Burger King and kick his ass in front of the entire Multi-national Brigade East, thus demonstrating that even the smallest American had more fight in him than the average Frenchman. He called me a barbarian cowboy and walked away in a huff.
With friends like these, who needs enemies? Mary Beth Johnson Lt.Col, USMC

I recived this today an E-Mail from a friend I first heard this on AFR just before the US Military went into Iraq.

Broken; I don't know who Gabriel Byrne is, but I did see the move and thought it was well done, as well as eye opening.

Just a thought:
We are the luckiest people on earth! Just imagine: when we are in trouble, alone, sad, happy, ashamed or we have nobody to talk with we can always go to Jesus and tell Him everything...... and He will give us exactly what we need.
Now imagine when you wouldn't know Him....... I would be going crazy!
Before I accepted Christ I was crazzy, and now my old friends from then think that I'm insane.
