Als hij dan niet van Franse kaas houdt, mag het dan een volkomen legaal Zwitsers stikkie zijn (Zwitserwiet is vrij ... Nederwiet niet

AH, YES, BUT THEIR CHEESE DOESN'T SMELL SO FUNKY:
Today's Times reports on the latest attempt by the French to win their way back into the Bush administration's good graces: ratting out the Swiss.
Another administration official took pains to point out that when President Bush attends an international economic summit meeting in Évian in
the French Alps later this spring, he will stay at a hotel across the border in Switzerland.

"We are not forcing anyone to spend the night in France," a senior French diplomat responded today. The diplomat then pointedly said that
Switzerland had been even more opposed than the French president, Jacques Chirac, to the American-led invasion of Iraq.

"They didn't even allow overflight rights for American planes," the diplomat said. "It amazes me that he doesn't realize the Swiss government was
extremely hostile to war."
Groet,
