France...all bluster

Get a load of this:

France said on Thursday it would be ready to use nuclear weapons against any state that carried out a terrorist attack against it, reaffirming the need for its nuclear deterrent.

Deflecting criticism of France's costly nuclear arms program, President Jacques Chirac said security came at a price and France must be able to hit back hard at a hostile state's centers of power and its "capacity to act."

He said there was no change in France's overall policy, which rules out the use of nuclear weapons in a military conflict. But his speech pointed to a change of emphasis to underline the growing threat France perceives from terrorism.

Okay, so if France is threatened with anihilation during war, they won't use nukes. If, however, they came under terrorist attack, they will? That is logic that just doesn't add up-in other words, it is very French logic. Something tells me nukes are to France as $200,000 sports cars are to guys with little...nevermind.
