Anyone wishing to invade France might want to do so soon. France has just sent it's entire military force of 2,000 men to Lebanon to participate in "peacekeeping" in Lebanon. Apparently this coincides with Jacques Chirac's wish to be able to surrender quickly if Al-Qaida asks. Chirac's plan is to surrender even quicker than the French government did in World War II, he hopes this will put him in the history books, because otherwise he's doomed to obscurity.
Just kidding about the above, other than the force of 2,000 headed for Lebanon. This act came after France felt threatened to increase the size of their force (currently 200 men) or lose primary command of the peacekeeping force to Italy. Already smarting from the World Cup, France decided to increase troop numbers as a "face-saving gesture," according to Dominique Moisi, an analyst with France's Institute for International Relations.

To the media:
Two words: Shut up!
I'm sick and tired of seeing headlines reading: Mel Gibson this, Mel Gibson that, somebody defended Mel Gibson, somebody denounced Mel Gibson. When are you going to get it through your heads that the American people could care less. This isn't even news.Mel Gibson was driving drunk...okay a police report about it would be fine, end of story. But no, we have to be subjected to days of nothing but Gibson bashing. (I'm not condoning drunk driving here...but the media has gone too far) The only reason they report on this is because of two reasons: 1) Gibson made the movie "The Passion of the Christ" 2) He didn't apologize for it.
So now the fact that he was driving drunk has made headlines, along with the statement that he was making anti-Semitic remarks. Supposedly Hollywood and the Media suddenly believe that making anti-Semitic remarks is wrong (which it is), but there's a double standard with these people. Drunk driving and anti-Semitic remarks by celebrities is all fine (and hushed-up) until Mel Gibson does it and then its news! Give me a break.
Gibson made a mistake, now it's time to build a bridge and get over it.
