The French Revolution - New York Times
Cohen's piece exposes the hypocrisy that is/was France and shows that President Nicolas Sarkozy is a leader largely unencumbered with the barnacles of French Socialism and haughty attitudes. I have not been a fan of France or French attitudes since DeGaulle kicked out American military bases in 1966 when he withdrew from NATO. I was in the Army in Germany at the time and we received a huge influx of supplies to store.
Perhaps Sarkozy has a chance to get the country back on track as a useful ally in Western civilization rather than mired in the patronizing muck of their own pride and wrong-headed Socialism. Perhaps more Frenchmen will be come productive workers rather than expecting government handouts.
I might even consider buying French wine again, despite its inflated reputation.
