| Chirac Refuses to Attend Reagan's Funeral Perhaps too busy still mourning the loss of his business partner Saddam Hussein, chief French quisling Jacques Chirac is not only refusing to attend former President Ronald Reagan's funeral on Friday, his government doesn't even list a representative who will go. |

| #6 RWV---very good point. The F-111s had to go around France because we were unable to gain overflight rights. There were 6 aerial refuelings, IIRC, and one plane was lost, with 2 crew members killed. Leaves a bad taste, all right. We need to remember this when we get friendly feelings for the French govt in a moment of weakness. |

| #5 Since Nancy is controlling the arrangements, perhaps he was not invited. After all, all France did during the Reagan administration was make our F-111s go the long way round to Libya. We should have saved the fuel and dropped on Paris instead of Tripoli. |

| #4 Yes, booing right before the honor gaurd takes aim and shoots Chirac dead. If the crowd doesn't beat him to death first, that is. |

| #3 Might be a good move. Who wants to hear booing at a funeral? |

| #1 I'd rather he stay away than come and say something insulting or hypocritical. As Mom used to remind me, "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything." |
