Chirac's Stand.

A while ago he had a stroke; then he threatened the bomb. Norm wondered why he'd made his threat, and got email. Now he shares some options: I agree with the first, as I mentioned before.

Who better to threaten nukes than a possibly senile, certainly unpredictable French patriot who cuts his cloth in Gaullist fashion? I still think it's for the sake of England though, and that Straw's abjection has been on a strict "E3" conditional arrangement. That doesn't make it right...
