The French have a tradition of convulsive bloodbaths as the means of social realignment. They may decide to return to the roots.

LOL... how true! Huguenots... Bastille... the Jacobins... sounds like a broken record.

Remember this, my friends; french duplicity became a staple of that nation's character since all the way back on september 11th/12th of 1683 @ the gates of Vienna... the only reason the turks got close enough to almost taking that city via siege was that the French had decided not to participate in the military campaign (reasoning that - once the austrians were defeated, France would be the strongest remaining European power... imagine that! cutting off one's nose to spite one's face!)

Damn the frogs, let them stew in their own juices!
