Memo to State Department: Ask Ivory Coast for a few battalions for the Iraq War and discuss what our nations can do to France.
"I would bet that the Ivory Coast would be a far better future ally than old, dead EuroFrance, and more consistent with Western Civilization (other than Chartres and French cuisine which are France's only excuses for existence) and American values as well. I bet abortion mills are harder to find in Ivory Coast than in any French city"
Tell that to the government-appointed mobs that rampaged Abdijan to "hunt down white people" last year...if that is the "American values" and "Western Civilization" you want to foster.
