AF stewardess plunges to death, Orly workers strike
Question:
I’m sorry….I wasn’t aware that anyone would feel there was a need to endorse the adverse feeling regarding ‘protest’ strikes within the public transport system. I couldn’t agree more. This sort of labour action has no real point and causes a great deal of inconvenience. It extends to the train system rather too often as well. France is a very nice place to live, but no-one will tell you that it is Utopia. Certainly, no-one at Orly last week-end will tell you that. Werewolfy

Another good example of the brainwashing of americans by the US media just rehashing what the White House said in its press release without checking facts. The so called "drones" that gave the Bush regime so much joy were nothing more than remote control toy airplanes with a camera mounted on it and with NO, I repeat NO capacity to lift any other cargo such as a bomb. Think of a glorified hobbyist remote controled aircraft. The USA made it look like a very dangerous weapon that could destroy the USA. Hthe UN had seen the toy aircraft and judged it to be no threath nor a violation of the rules, but of course, the USA media did not cover those statements, they only covered the white house statements accusing Iraq of having dangerous drines.

or a low tech U2 and you concede that the opposition held and deployed chemical weapons?

The Mezei should fuck itself. But that would mean less time for examining assorted foreskins and trolling Usenet.
