France Once Again Tooting Its Horn
There's nothing worse than having to listen to the French drone on about how they are superior in all areas of life (except, of course, personal hygiene).
The latest example comes from France's prime minister Dominique de Villepin , getting on his Gallic high horse to denounce a war on terror.
"Let us not forget that these crises play into the hands of all extremists," the prime minister said in a debate on the Middle East. "We can see this with terrorism, whether it tries to strike inside or outside our frontiers," he added.
"Against terrorism, what's needed is not a war. It is, as France has done for many years, a determined fight based on vigilance at all times and effective cooperation with our partners.
"But we will only end this curse if we also fight against injustice, violence and these crises," he said.
More:
"It is the duty of France and Europe to show that the clash of civilizations is not inevitable," he said. "No one retains this wisdom, inherited from our history, as we, French and Europeans, do," he said.
No, the clash of civilizations is not inevitable if one is prepared to roll over as the French did in 1940...a proud tradition that continues today.
Employing typical French tactics, De Villepin did not actually come out and criticize the US and/or President Bush directly. But by using language similar to that used by the President, his subtext is crystal clear: America and its president are eternally inferior to France.
If the following photos illustrate French wisdom and vigilance, we can do without their help.
