No, the US voters did the right thing for the right reasons. But this, this is the biggest example of doing the right thing for the wrong reasons in living memory.

I am mildly shocked that the French didn't realise they were voting the way that British public wanted them to - we didn't want this thing, and we were prepared to be the "killjoys" on this. Instead the French decide they will be. Wonderful.

I believe this is the most positive thing to come out of France since the 1800's. I must say that I am shocked the French people expressed their concerns for what the EU was offering. IMHO this is the end for Chiraq politically.

Yes, but in retrospect it could have been expected. The French voted as always for what they perceived as being in THEIR own best interests, even though it was short-shorted to say the least. They won't give up their percs, their playtoys, and all they really need is another Corsican to lead them.:)

Also, I enjoyed your reviews of Star Wars Episode 3 on The Sith Order. Interesting comments about the real 'honor' of the Jedi, and the Republic vs. the Empire.
