Conspiracy theories can be fun until they get crazy. They all start with a nugget of truth but usually spiral wildly out of hand. If you want some truely great ones, check out "Them" by Jon Ronson. I garauntee you'll laugh you're ass off. Funny you mention Pearl Harbor...it's the exact same thing. U.S. intelligence had prior knowledge of a Japanese attack but did nothing. Sure, it could have been a series of mistakes, but who here thinks we would have had such enourmous support for a U.S. effort in WWII without that threat and feeling of fear?

And as for France, I cannot even begin to state how much they suck. On the news the other day their prime minister Jacques whatever told the eastern European/Baltic states that backed up the U.S. something to the effect that they "missed a good opportunity to keep their mouths shut". Good lord does this guy have some brass ones. He must have a specially fitted suit in which to carry these large testicles. The fact that France of all people would tell someone else to keep quiet is beyond me. If the entire world consisted of the United States, France would be the equivalent of New Jersey. Sorry if anyone's from Jersey, but if you are you know what I'm saying. Everyone hates New Jersey except for the people who live there and they're the butt of everyone's jokes. So France, I salute you with one finger (and both hands). Too bad you're in the middle of a continent meaning we can't bomb you into the ocean...at least not easily.
