Iraqi Terrorists Kidnap Two Frenchmen

...to protest France's ban on Islamic headscarves in school.

Okay, let me get this straight: Terrorists hate us because we're arrogant, we're pro-Israel, and we're too gung-ho to fight terrorists.

So... um, why go after the French? All right, I'll give you the arrogance, but no one can accuse this nation of je ne se qua Jew-hatin' of being pro-Israel, nor can they accuse any Frenchman of having an insufficient regard for his own personal safety.

Maybe our "Chimpresident" is sorta on to something when he says they just plain hate us, and fill their maniac minds with all sorts of toxic lunacies that justify any violent, evil acts they perpetrate against non-Muslims (or non-lunatic Muslims, for that matter).

What to do?
Should we mock the frogs violently but without purpose?
Should we offer to send troops to look for the journalists if the French promise same?
Should we just wait for the French to sign contracts with the terrorists involving complicated kickbacks and bribes that of course involve weapons and weapons technology?
Take a hint from the terrorists and start kidnapping French journalists?

File this under ponderous, if fun.

Yes, the temptation to crow at their misfortune is powerful.
Would be wise to just hold our tongues and wait to see what they do.
If they give in to the terrorists, that will be a clue.

After all, if a few goat herders can get them to capitulate, imagine what we could do? Perhaps we could have had France withdraw its veto at the Security Council merely by kidnapping some French folk.
If we're going to be constantly accused of barbarism and blamed for everything anyway....

The FNC crawl read something like: the French are debating their response to this act.

So I'm guessing their choices would come down to:
1. Blame Bush
2. Collaborate
3. Surrender

Chirac has ordered a commssion too study the WW II surrender and recommend whether it is appropriate now.

Well, they've been collaborating with third world dictators for 35 years. And they've been blaming Bush for the last 2 years. So I guess that just leaves surrender. Not that they won't continue collaborating and blaming Bush...

And no, I won't laugh at them. These 2 guys didn't set the course of French foreign policy in the late 1960s. This is not about France, really. It's about two reporters who may have their heads slowly sliced off by a bunch of goat-pleasuring sons of a one-eyed whore.

I'd like to extend a hearty "fuck you" to Jingo Jim. Save the laughter for when the terrorists get it.
