The left is already self-destructing. This kind of crap is just evidence of that. I think the loonier it gets, the better things will be for the world in general. And, 200,000 books sold is not a valid representation of French public opinion overall. In fact, all of the people of Europe are more conservative than their leaders. But, this kind of blatant anti-Americanism does serve to put the pervasive low-grade anti-Americanism of the EU and various European countries' leadership in a different perspective (in the same way that low-grade anti-semitism looks different in the context of blatant anti-semitism). From that standpoint, this kind of crap is a very good thing.

"I think the loonier it gets, the better things will be for the world in general."

I'm in turmoil -- I agree with you -- BUT -- I also know that some number of goof-balls will believe this crap and accept it without question. I remember the 70's and the "radical-weathermen", Black Panthers, Symbinanese Liberation Army, Red Bridgade, etal. and other such out of control left-winged terrorists who actually killed and bombed.

If we lock these guys up and throw away the key then it is good.
