    Hello there.  I suppose that most people by now are aware of 
the fact that France is under terrorist attack.  At least 5
bombings, diplomatic personel assasinated, etc..

    I find it interesting to note that France refused the U.S. use
of their airspace during the attack on Libya, assumedly because they
did not want to antagonize the terrorist community.  However, of the
two countries which took part in the attack, the U.S. and Britain, 
neither has suffered retailiatory terrorist atacks, and in fact overall
terrorism has declined against those two countries.

    Could it be that appeasement is not the answer?
