It is also my opinion Salomon is underrated, even if the product comes

Wha? Firstly, that seems a pretty bizarre way to chose kit - based on
the country where the manufacturer is based. I mean, the
manufacturer's staff may disagree with their government just as much
as you do.

And secondly, I can't recall the French government doing much that has
invited international criticism for quite a while. Not since the
Rainbow Warrior, at least

A lot of Americans are in a snit over lack of French support for the
Iraq war.


Not anymore, especially since most Americans don't support the Iraq war
now either. At the time of the invasion there was a lot of right-wing
nuttiness about France's cowardice and the urgency of renaming french
fries "freedom fries," but fortunately that inanity is in the past for
all but a tiny fringe.

Well, I disagree with you on many counts, but this is hardly the forum
for the discussion. I certainly do not want the flame wars that permeate
other newsgroups to render this one useless as well.
