[Cultural Jihad]

The French have historically been moral-cowards for many decades. Known terrorists were granted safe passage through their country on the assumption that if they are kind to terrorists then they would bomb and gun and knife people in other countries, rather than in France. The French are the original George Soros Socialist-Libertarian Harm-Reduction advocates.

There is another thread from a Canadian paper praising Chretien
for denying anti-terrorist support to the US, in effect insulating
Canadians from being attacked.  The French teach each other.

The French have historically been moral-cowards for many decades.

The French are reformed Libertarians. They still celebrate gross irresponsibility and moral cowardice but realize that these can only be sustained by a vast welfare state that sees no evil, hears no evil, speaks no evil, and resists no evil.
