re: be on alert!!! grant DaveR - the French are going to test the US democratic ideals and beliefs.
European sentiment don't see the US as an 'open democracy'. The US may have convinced the politicians of 18 EU nations, but the majority of citizens (80%) in EU, strongly oppose anti-democratic ideals, the current US regime can only be described as a cross between a junta and a cope d'etat.
Europe is a very wise nation with a long and rich history of wars and triumphs. Europe expresses a totally different aura in comparison to the US. The EU have a rich culture that has been preserved for centuries, the US is just another European state that is behaving badly and undemocratically that will eventually come unstuck, as un-democratic nations, usually do..
Europeans are fully aware of the manipulative nature of the Bush administration, and that is that..
