The "nuisance" of France
The meddlesome, perfidious and breathtakingly corrupt Jacques Chirac is quickly driving the Gallic empire into a ruinous state. If you're looking for a succinct historical overview of the trainwreck that is now France, Denis Boyles' quick little read "Vile France--Fear, Duplicity, Cowardice and Cheese" is a good place to start:
"What we mistakenly see as a craven, anti-Semitic, insecure, hypocritical, hysterically anti-American, selfish, overtaxed, culturally exhausted country, bereft of ideas, fearful of its own capitulation to Islam, headed for demographic cul de sac, corrupted by lame ideologies, clinging to unsupportable entitlements, cripled by a spirit-stomping social elite and up to its neck in a cheesey souffle of multilayered bureaucracy is actually worse all that. It's vile."
And if that's not enough to sate your craving for a little shadenfreud, David Pryce-Jones's "special report": "Jews, Arabs and French Diplomacy" in the current issue of Commentary is also a must read. Get it from Powerline [>]
