Ok, this threads going to seem a little odd.
Basicly, I posted a few times on a french forum about some daoc related stuff (lets not go there).
And someone sent me a PM today, and tbh I dont know how to respond to it.
(If your the person that sent me this PM, I hope you dont mind me posting it for advice)
What are your views on the USA vs Terrorism vs Others thing?

Any idea how I should reply to this?A part of french people have a poor idea of english people, most because of England engagement into the Irak war. I was pretty surprised that your government decided to attack Irak with USA, based on stranges prooves about WMD présence in Irak. I had to say that i don't like our président Chirac, but i was proud when he announce he was against this war.
It was a conflict based on a different vision of the situation. I can accept this, because of our cultural difference made our views different ( not better or worse, just different ).
But today french people feel that this war which were based on military reason, has become a war based on religious reasons. They fear and dislike this. France got hard problems
actually, because of their declared neutral position about religion ( from the separation of State powers and Religious powers ). This situation has become worse since UK/USA alliance "seems" to have engage war against islam ( the GW Bush attitude cannot be more explicit ). The two opposing forces ( "good" USA vs "evil" terrorism ), are trying to force France to choose it's side, that France, by its own nature, cannot do.
For us, USA have to take conscience that they have not be designed by "god" to save the world and fight "evil" (terrorism).
This go much more far than the fight against terrorism (which is important ) : it is a crucial conflict which opposing 2 different visions of the world about the manner to solve today's problem.
I'd be happy that you tell me your point of view about this conflict( it will improve my english skills)
P.S. Your french is approximative, but not that bad ! /cheer
