It would help if France didn't feed us.

Iran has shares in French nuclear facility.

Spit.

I love the french.

Here's a little hint, if an aussie or kiwi is insulting a nationality, we're takin the p!ss and it means that theres respect there.

Now, as for the Iranians having shares in a french facility, thats dodgy as buggery - but, do the french have any laws preventing that sorta thing? does anybody, really?? it might suck in a big big way, but it might also be perfectly legal.

Why so? Based on what?

but, do the french have any laws preventing that sorta thing?

Maybe the problem is it's inconvenient for France to legislate laws against cooperating with rogue terrorist nations. Sounds French to me!

does anybody, really??

The US. So do numerous other countries.

it might suck in a big big way, but it might also be perfectly legal.

It might be intentionally legal, in which case it sucks in an even bigger way, doesn't it?

why is it dodgy? i cant tell if thats your sarcastic self or not... but if not, its dodgy cos of foreign-ownership, especially ownership by members of a nation arguably chasing nukes. I just dont like it.

Its a big shame that they havent gone and altered laws which i presume have been changed in other nations since '01? Unfortunately, this is something im completely oblivious about.....

A country can still be an ally and disagree with our policy.

I feel it is unrealistic to assume that all of our allies will always agree with everything about our foreign policy.

Sometimes we can learn best from a friend that disagrees with us.
