As a Frenchman, I have certainly learned a lot about my country in recent weeks.
"How dare the French forget," read a headline in the New York Post on Monday, on a page with a photograph of a military cemetery in Normandy.
I apologize for being so ungrateful. It's just that I learned in school that France and Britain declared war on Nazi Germany in September 1939, while the United States was enacting isolationist laws, and that America entered the war two years later, only after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. But now I see that was just Gallic propaganda. How could I have believed it?
Cheese-eating surrender weasel. Sounds like he'd prefer to be back in Vichy, drinking a nice Merlot and watching the boxcars load up.
