    Shame there is no oil involved, then good old Uncle Sam would come to the rescue.

    Yours cynically,

    Observation: It's outrageous. Conclusion: We haven't done it.

    Another nice example of exceptionalism.

    You know what? This kind of answet from a ranking civil officer actually makes the whole thing even more probable in my eyes. With that kind of blind belief in own moral superiority, they could do anything to anyone because, you know, they are superior.

    It's kinda nice to see some random news article slamming someone who isn't American. I would comment, as others have (in reference to the US and Abu Ghraib among other things), that this is representative of the entirety of the French population, but it's likely, as in the US's case, to be the actions of a militant and maddened few.

    [​IMG] Off-topic, but can you actually produce a quote where someone here said that the actions of soldiers in Abu Graib are representative of the entirety of the American population? Because I must have missed that one. It would have been sanctioned as a violation of the AoDA rules if anyone actually wrote that. So please either produce a link to the post you are referring to, or don't throw around such baseless accusations.

    Kinda nice since they actually invented the process of guillotine. Helps spare a lot of agony... But I guess they don't have guillotines over there. Oh well...
