... do the French really think the probability of the US attacking or subverting their country sometime in the future is greater than the dangers posed by Hussein?
That is not the question. The question is, for example, whether a US government thinks it better that France workers bear the cost of excess steel production than US workers. Not long after he was elected, President Bush went against Republican rhetoric on freedom of trade and decided to favor certain US workers over French workers (and over some US Republicans, one of whom told me how angry he was with Bush, for pushing up steel prices). -- Robert J.
