Let's NOT Think Post-Invasion

[Jean-Christophe]

and while they're under the spots for their stance on irak (that seems 
to be very symetrical to the us stance: they have a gvt in bagdad with 
whom they have or are going to sign huge oil contracts, the us wants a 
new gvt that will give them more options) they are doing the same shitty 
stuff at home: france has just voted a new internal security law, and 
has change electoral law for regional elections, all this without the 
opposition having any possibility to defend an alternative. the french 
conservative majority is pretty much in the same situation as the 
majority in the us, it controls both houses with absolute majority and 
is surfing on the foreign policy wave to avoid mediatisation of more 
political issues. at least, that what it looks like from articles online 
a a few calls from home.
