France is not messing around:

"France said on Thursday it would be ready to use nuclear weapons against any state that carried out a terrorist attack against it..."

Wow. If you are responsible for a terrorist attack in France, France may nuke you. The fallout, literal and political, from this would be interesting to observe.

Hopefully, it doesn't come to that...

UPDATE:
I don't know anything about this blog, but I found it on technorati.com and the headline cracked me up: "France Reattaches Nads"
