#1 Can you iamgine a U.S. president going on TV and carrying on like this? Thats right it would never happen. Le Worm indeed. Shows how weak France actually is. Weak and spineless.

I can imagine it. Chirac seems to be doing all the right things.

Please try to make sense, Sock Puppet.

#3 France Will Not Repeal Head Scarf Law

I support France on this, the Head scarf belongs in the Mosque and should stay out of schools.

#4 Right things? Undercutting the US at every chance is the right thing? Chirac is a tool.

#5 This is too funny. Didn't Chirac and his cronies believe in their own principles strongly enough to have issued an outright refusal at the outset, without having to "stiffen" their posture??

Haaahahahahahaaa....

#6 Laughing boy, why don't you actually check the article, instead of mocking the title that .com chose? You really are ridiculous, trying so desperately to find something to mock and utterly failing in the attempt.

#7 Aris, I was about to agree with you... before I read this:

"France ensures equality, the respect and protection of the free practicing of all religions," a solemn-looking Chirac said in a televised address. "These values of respect and tolerance inspire our actions everywhere in the world ... They also inspired France's policy in Iraq."

When Max Liebermann, a famous German painter in the 20s and 30s, was asked his comment about the Nazis, he said.

"I just can't eat the amount I want to puke."

Ditto here.

Btw congrats for the Olympics. I liked the party atmosphere in the closing ceremony.
