Right and it is easy enough for either or both to come around, either with a new government or with the same government. All they need do is accept in the modern world that a competitive tax system not complaining about what others are doing is required and that the US is leading the world in the War on Terror and they need to get fully on board.
But, first, the socialist elite would have to do one other thing: Admit they were wrong -- about damn near everything.
And this they will never do.
That will leave the job up to a new government. Coming soon, to a France and Germany near you...
