I didn’t say innocents; I said French political elites. Even tho they weren’t among today’s physical victims, they have to live with what they brought about.

If some French nimrod had written this about us after 9/11, we’d be outraged.

French elites need Muslims to scrub their shitters for cheap.

>> France was once one of the great civilizations of Europe

I understand the frustration, but never underestimate France.

Prayers for Nice.

Thanks for posting this excellent article. The analysis "in writing" is long overdue regarding the long-time French Establishment (not the lesser citoyens) mushiness in times of crisis and making rational decisions.

I have French ancestry...and I agree with the above message.

but America didn’t surrender back then; we had just beat the Bolshevik Union and Saddam Hussein in Desert Storm 10 years earlier, not to mention the obvious WWI and WWII that even kept France a free country.

Has the candlelight vigil been scheduled yet?

What about the moment of silence?

And displaying the french colors on buildings?

And what about warnings against islamophobia?

that was before Obama. Even with him, we’re STILL less of surrenderers than France.

France was great, right up until Yorktown.

After that, not so much.

They excel in dropped weapons. They do look stylish, though.

FIY, regardless how erudite you think you sound, a vanity is not “News/Activism.” It belongs in “chat.”

I felt this way after the attack in Paris. These kind of people supported multiculturalism, thinking we could all somehow get along. While my sympathies go to all the victims, I can’t help how many still believe that religious or ethnic differences aren’t important.

The Battle of Tours. It's a shame that the French don't have what it takes to do this again. But then they have no "Hammer" just a pack of politically correct grifters like we have.
