Perhaps some of you are tired of seeing correspondents to Culturechat =
referring to "the French" or "You Americans". I am! Please if an =
argument is to be pursued please deal with factual issues and leave out =
"the", or "you". Some Americans supported the war(some more reluctantly =
than others), some did not. Some were jerks about their positions. Some =
arrived at their positions rationally. Some did not. Which of these =
groups constituted "you Americans"?
I do not know what "the French" , or for that matter any other group of =
people, think because they like people all over the world are a diverse =
lot.=20
Ask me however why Bush or Chirac did something and I will try to arrive =
rationally at reasons. Dispute the reasons.Leave the "name calling out"
Thanks.
