Things might be different this time. Usually leaders are well protected from the pains they inflict on the people. Hollande was at the site of this attack when it happened.

I’m giving the French the benefit of the doubt here too.
We give them a hard time, but they have a long and proud military tradition. I don’t see them truckling like the Spanish to the savages.

Besides helping to save our bacon at our beginning, the vocabulary of warfare and the military include many words of French origin (battalion, dragoon, soldier, marine, grenadier, guard, officer, infantry, cavalry, army, artillery, corvette, musketeer, carabineer, pistol, fusilier, squad, squadron, platoon, brigade, corps, sortie, reconnaissance/reconnoitre, surveillance, rendezvous, espionage, volley, siege, terrain, troop, camouflage, logistics, accoutrements, bivouac, aide-de-camp, legionnaire, morale, esprit de corps. See also military ranks: sergeant, lieutenant, captain, colonel, general, admiral.

The liberal who has been mugged? It happens but I would say it’s not a guaranteed reverse course. Some just double down.
