Talk About Ingrates



Bomb Plot Threatens French Rail System: Terrorists never met a better frend than France, and this is the thanks they get. The interesting part is on page two. The terrorists asked for $5.2 million - 1 million in euros and the rest in USD. Strange time to be preferring dollars over euros considering the strength of the euro v. the dollar. I imagine dollars would be easier to spend in many third world countries, if you want to escape with your ill-gotten gains. Dollars seem to be accepted nearly anywhere in the world, whereas euros probably haven't spread quite so far yet.
