Actually it make perfect sense for Al-Quada to allie itself with Algerian terrorists. With the 10% Muslim population you talked of being held back in poverty; they already have sympathysers embedded within French borders.

France wanted to play the nice guy.......we'll see how they deal with this one. They are the only NATO country that has a free finger on the nuke button and Chirac changed the laws of terrorism to include the use of nukes.

Another thing, with French troops being deployed in Lebonon and probably soon to be in Sudan, how many conflicts can they handle at once?

Have a good one!:thumbsup:
