While I'm usually among the first to mock the French, it's only fair to point out that these guys ("Green" and "Communist") seem not to be in the mainstream of French politics.
You could find similar sentiments on the campus of most U.S. universities. Sad, but true.
Not quite. The Communists are part of France's ruling coalition which makes them somewhat more serious than the scattered beatniks in London and Washington.
France cannot maintain cohesion long enough to successfuly prosecute a war - this has been the case since 1871 at least.
