M de Villepin, whose heroes are Napoleon Bonaparte and Charles de Gaulle, is a staunch nationalist

Is the French non evidence of French national socialism? Are the French unwilling to go international in their socialism, or are they simply too nationalistic?

France is a silly place. The people complain about the economy not being strong, then complain that the social programs are not large enough. I think the French have a total lack of knowledge about anything except how great they are, whoops were.

Ouch! From what I've read, the no vote was in part a response to the feeling that the EU Constitution was too liberal in terms of economic freedom (too Anglo-Saxon).
