I'm a history nut - To my wife's dismay I have the History Channel on most of the time.
Many people have compared France's apeasement to the Muslims to Rome's kowtow to the Barbarians.
I think the end result will be the same.
I have been sitting here thinking what they (France and the rest of Old Europe) can do to fix this mess.
Now most of us will say kick the jerks out or something else along those lines. But we all know for many reasons they can't do that. Political, economic ect.
The French and their mentality will continue their current "I'm better than you" BS and all I can forsee is their ultimate demise.
The only question is......How severe it will be?
The analogy works to a certain extent except for one big problem -- France ain't Rome.
I have the History Channel on a lot too. I wish they would tackle a lot of topics they avoid though. Like they cover the Civil War, how about Reconstruction sometime? No way, too disturbing, I guess.
