| Frenchies warn against toppling Sammy... |

| France has refused to give a blank cheque to a military action against Iraq, making it clear that any attempt aimed at regime change would be at variance with the rules of international law and open the door to all kinds of excesses.``France in no way condones Baghdad’s activities but cannot accept a resolution authorizing right now the course to force, without going back to the United Nations Security Council,’’ the French Minister for Foreign Affairs Dominuqie de Villepin said, in an article published in daily ``Le Monde’’. The Frenchies don't believe in changing Bad Guy regimes? I don't want to harp, but wasn't France really, truly glad to see a regime change in a certain German-speaking country about 55 years ago? Or wouldn't they define Adolph and Eva pegging out so romantically as "regime change"? Should we have left Canaris and Bormann in charge? He said Iraq is a potential threat to the regional and international peace and has defied the international community by concealing programmes concerning these weapons. But that's no reason to do anything about it? And they say Orientals are incrutable! |

| #2 Yes, if possible, Admiral Canaris should have been left in power. . . |

| #1 I think the French are truly hesitant for two reasons: 1- they've ben selling a lot of material, expertise, and machinery to help Iraq with WMD and don't want their usual whoring to be exposed. 2- Any regime installed by the U.S. will by definition be more inclined to allow US business access and influence, and they're afraid of losing their market share |
