The Franc & DM Connection
Even though both France and Germany are being unarguably arrogant, despicable and gutless regarding Iraq,...at least such is understandable. Both are large industrial nations which have been supplying backward Iraq with EVERYTHING (legally or otherwise and possibly even military secrets),...must be in the VERY MANY BILLION$, at minimum.
Then too, and since both France and Germany both have SOCIALISTICALLY-PRICED FUELS (ie. priced where Big Brothers make 3-4X more per gallon or litre than the large Oil Corps make on the product),...these additional revenues ripped-off by both governments must also be in a staggering amount of BILLION$ every year. Guess that's what some refer to as: "Truly Sweetheart Deals" (for everyone but The Public)?
Regardless, and even though: "The almighty-buck" explains much about France and Germany, I'll never understand why so many Americans act so similarly anti-American, and promote and elevate everything foreign (even foreign enemiies whom would destroy us) as more trustworthy, superior, and even believable.
Is political oneupsmanship all that important to some Americans in authority, in Hollywood, and even The Press/Media, in that "They" would put all Americans at risk, merely to attain political control of a CBR-devastated wasteland?
Though, and in fairness to our homegrown EVERYTHING anti-American Lovers, maybe there too lies a: "The Franc & DM Connection". After all, recently learning learning that The French own Universal Studios, does explain much to me. Knock America and The Prez,...and thusly make some good brownie points with your bosses. Hey,...maybe even better roles?
For The Germans I really can't make an American Connection. But, and in fairness to me, how could I? After all, whom better that The Germans can keep foul and dirty secrets for a long time? It was only after the end of WWII that The World discovered how deceptive and cruel Germans could actually be against fellow human beings.
Still, and while on this fairness-kick, in fairness to The Germans some say that The Japs of WWII were even worse. I heard the number of 30 or 40 MILLION Jap-slaughtered defenseless civilians kicked-around, even though guaranteed never to read such in a Japanese History Book about such cowardly Jap Butchers.
