Posted by Sarah at November 7, 2005 11:34 AM | TrackBackFrench cynics like the prime minister, Dominique de Villepin, have spent the last two years scoffing at the Bush Doctrine: Why, everyone knows Islam and democracy are incompatible. If so, that's less a problem for Iraq or Afghanistan than for France and Belgium.
Sarah - I found your account of living on the edge of such a neighborhood fascinating. While in Europe Patti and I went to Paris. We visited a marche' aux puce in such a neighborhood totally without warning. It was frightening to say the least.
Anyway - since I'm out of the Euro/Islam/Iraq blogging business I write just to ask you to remind us...wasn't the ENTIRE point of the Axis of Weasels that avoiding dealing with Saddam would somehow innoculate the weasels from the wrath of of the Muslims? (Oil for Food Kickbacks deliberately overlooked for the purpose of this discussion).
I'm curious to know - are the French, Belgiques, Dutch and Deutsch now shaking their heads in bewilderment or shaking their fists in outrage?
