France 'Responds' to Hostage Crisis

From the BBC:

French Foreign Minister Michel Barnier has arrived in Egypt at the start of a mission to secure the release of two journalists being held in Iraq.

The move was announced by President Jacques Chirac after senior French politicians held emergency meetings to discuss their response to the crisis.

Arabic TV station al-Jazeera broadcast film of the two Frenchmen on Saturday.

It said the group holding them was demanding that France drop its ban on Muslim headscarves in state schools.

I hate to tell France that I told ya so...but, I told ya so. These terrorists aren't interested in whether or not you fight in Iraq. They want us all dead. Neville Chamberlain tactics didn't secure you peace in your time...
