How many times have you heard the left in America decry the lack of unity with Europe in the war on terror. If John F'ing Kerry had been elected President, the US would have valuable allies to confront this menace. Yea, right.
If there were ever a time for Europe, and France especially, to step up to the plate and take bold military action under the flag of a multilateral force for a humanitarian cause, Lebanon is the perfect opportunity. France, who once agreed to lead the 15,000 man UN peace keeping force has once again proven their complete and total irrelevance to the world. They have now reduced their commitment to 200 soldiers. The French have just declared surrender to the what is left of civilization. Why should anyone, anywhere bother to discuss anything with the French again?
France is the guy back in high school who tells his friends, I've got your back, lets go kick those guy's asses. Only to run away when it looks like this fightin' stuff could get dangerous. I would rather have two or three good friends to back me up against a dozen thugs than have a dozen Frenchmen with me to fight one thug.
Remember that guy in school who always complained about the way you were doing something. I don't care if it was tuning up a carburetor or picking up girls, that guy was always telling you how you were doing it all wrong. Until you handed him the screwdriver or told him to go talk to that pretty girl over there, then he would make up some lame excuse why he couldn't do it. That guy is France too.
I will leave you with a few of my favorite quotes regarding France;
Going to war without France is like going deer hunting without an accordion. (Jed Babbin)
France, they are always there when they need you. (Me, although I forget where I heard it first)
Their Latinate voluptuousness combines with their Gallic laziness and the result is: they would rather make love with their faces than fight. (General Webb, although he did get his butt kicked by the French at Fort William Henry)
