Hi, I heard Robin Williams mention that name as a hypothetical new antidepressant!My thoughts about French and German resistance to "supporting" our war: They feel that GB has likely handled the whole thing with poor judgement and they don't want to be in our camp when the results of what we are planning to do go sour (which in their minds has a high probability of ocurring). Their politics are far more to the left of this administration's thinking about a range of topics, and continental Europe is starting to get tired of following us blindly (with NATO), and wants to assume a more prominent role in policy-making. They are seeing the "terrorist threat" as a much less serious real threat to them (as opposed to the former Soviet bloc). They may be viewing much of this as a "made for TV" crisis that in the end is doing nothing but helping to re-elect GB and they aren't going to get any benefit as a result.
