Great piece in Andrew Sullivan's Blog today - subject French panic. Last night I got a long lesson on why France is naturally called to lead ( sic ! ) the world's nations against US repression and dominance...... from a Parisian no less!
Revolting.
In the Euro buzz today, a lot of negative talk about Poland and how it will be America's hired hand in Iraq. The French and the Germans are not at all happy about the fact that a small and supposedly poor country has not asked their permission to go help the Iraqis rebuild their system.
From my point of view, I couldn't be happier with this decision. Who better than the Poles could actually show the Iraqis how to transition from a dictatorship to a liberal democracy? Come to think of it, the Poles, Czechs and Hungarians are the ONLY ones that know how to get the job done in this day and age! And as to the hired hand stuff, would someone please remind the French that they didn't REALLY win WW II? The same guys that are giving the Poles a chance to tell others what they just went through, are the guys that gave the French the invention of a General DeGaulle...... the usual old imperialist and fascist US of A.
