Defending the French here on these boards is as futile as arguing that not only "liberals" think Iraq policy was handled disastrously.

Bottom line is that they dared question the Administration and therefore they reap the vitrol that inevatibly comes with doing that.

The debate here is not unlike the daily rants you hear on Sean Hannity's radio show. Nothing but rants about the 'liberals" and the "frogs" and cowardice and so on and so forth. No semblance of logic or diplomacy or compromise here. It's all about absolutes. Bush is 100% right and everyone else is absolutely wrong. And to think otherwise is traitorous, cowardly and "against us".

Therfore the French are the enemy. So sayeth the idealouge zealots.
