FRENCH-GERMAN ALLIANCE WARMS AMID US COLD WAR

By Philip Delves Broughton in Paris

France is threatening to unite with Germany to maintain their influence in an enlarged European Union and strengthen their common front against the United States, according to reports yesterday.



Foreign minister Dominique de Villepin was quoted by Le Monde speaking explicitly about "Franco-German union" and to have called the further deepening of ties between the countries "the one historic challenge we cannot lose".



Le Monde gave most of its first three pages to reports on the proposed union, noting that it was an idea whose time might have come.

He's united the whole world against us. Way to go, Duh.

They only hate Bush and his entire administration. They love Americans!

I bet they are praying on their knees everyday for a President Clark.

Get some intelligence and refinement back into the diplomatic pool.

Wouldn't be surprised if most of these countries will do what they can so that Bush is not re-elected.

Too bad they can't come over and watch the Diebolt machine swallow our votes.

I am voting absentee. At least it leaves a paper trail, once I put it through the photocopy machine!
