It took fifty years...but finally, France has stood up for something. You’d have to go back to WW II or the Napoleonic-age to find that gutsy of a move. Next? The Germans. They will toss the five-hundred-pound gorilla off their backs and state the obvious.

And in so doing, makes America look mighty small.
How far we have fallen!

I've been telling people for years not to under estimate the French. They suffered horribly in WW1, terrible generalship, they had not yet recovered from WW1 when WW2 came along. But ever since 300 BC the franks have been very good at the art of war. It is nice to see them back in the game and on the side of Western Civilization. Twice, once in 450ish AD (Huns) and again around 800ish AD (Islam) the Franks saved the West. They also saved the very young USA at Yorktown.

Viva la France!
