I'm confused. Are you guys focusing on the messenger or the message? Just in case you believe the messenger is more important than the message, here's another link:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...topnews&sub=AR

And since you won't register, here are some selected quotes:

"The French military used overwhelming force Sunday to put down an explosion of anti-French violence in its former West African colony, deploying troops, armored vehicles and helicopter gunships against machete-waving mobs that went from house to house hunting for foreigners."

Helicopter gunships against machete-waving mobs - that's fair.

"In the second day of military operations, French forces seized strategic control of the largest city, Abidjan, commandeering airports and posting gunboats under bridges."

Isn't Ivory Coast a sovereign nation with a democratically elected government?

"France hit back within hours, wiping out Ivory Coast's newly strengthened air force..."

Good for you, France! We did the same thing to Iraq. But I guess what we did is different because... well, because... uh... well, because we're not French, of course!
