The only flaw in France, a wise man once said, is the people who live there. This is harsh, and unkind to hundreds, maybe thousands of nice Frenchmen, but the men elected to govern France invariably succeed in living up to Marianne's speckled reputation.

Americans have a reputation for giving a fight to whoever asks for it. We intend to live up to our reputation, too.
Ain't that the truth.

Isn't the current French Minister of Defense a woman?

Americans have a reputation for giving a fight to whoever asks for it. Well said. Great essay. Too bad so many Americans don't mean it.

The president erred further by not saying in the beginning that the war could not be fought on the cheap, that sacrifice would be required at home as well as sacrifice by the men and women sent to the shooting war.
I don't get why this seemingly pro-Bush piece has to pay FALSE deference to this argument.
Go Read the speech Bush gave on 9-13 where he said exactly that, go listen the first State of the Union address after the attacks where he talked about a generational conflict and that it would take a long time and take place across the world and require all kinds of sacrifice. Hell they made fun of him during the '04 election because he kept saying it would be 'hard work'.

M. Chirac, visiting a nuclear simulation station at Bruyeres-le-Chatel, near Paris, boasted that France would continue to maintain a nuclear arsenal. ... The message seemed clear enough: The Americans and the British may not always be top dogs in the world, and France is determined to defend its 265 cheeses, with nuclear weapons if necessary.
Heh-heh.

...and France is determined to defend its 265 cheeses, with nuclear weapons if necessary.Heck, half of those 265 cheeses qualify as "Weapons of Mass Destruction" in and of themselves...
