The Feckless French

A couple of interesting editorials in today’s NY Times. John Miller succinctly demonstrates why France is not even worthy of our contempt.

France is a third-rate has been. And like any spoiled child should be ignored. It was a laugh to hear John Kerry talk about soliciting France’s support in Iraq. What do they have to offer, a broken down aircraft carrier with a few obsolete Mirage fighters? Hell, they have got more than they can handle with their unilateral, non-UN approved, intervention in Ivory Coast. France has nothing left these days but delusions of grandeur.

The other editorial was submitted by a French expat living in New York. He can’t understand why France is considered such a joke to most Americans. I guess my short answer to him would be “um, perhaps because France IS a joke.” A sad joke indeed.

Anyway, I recommend you read both editorials (and it is not often I can recommend anything in the NYT).

  9. After the many rumours that we had heard about Hitler and the published criticisms we had read about him, we were pleasantly impressed.

  10. I think it was that we were really seasoned musicians. We had serious roots that spanned different cultures, obviously the blues.
