| #4 It's kinda funny that Mitterand forced the Euro onto Kohl, and now the socialists are reaping the results. You'll hear denials after denials but Germany does have a plan B should (or rather when) the Euro fail. France doesn't |

| #2 The only time German-French relations were REALLY excellent was when Helmut Schmidt and Valéry Giscard d'Estaing held power. Kohl-Mitterand was all show Chirac-Schröder was just because the both wanted to piss off the U.S. Sarkozy-Merkel? Meh Hollande is certainly worse because he's incompetent. And a Socialist., although that's redundant. |

| #1 In the thirty or so years that I have been following EU affairs – or is it nearer 35 years now since I studied in French literature in Paris, and German philosophy in Mainz – I have never seen ties between Europe’s two great land states reduced so low. Hey, you should have been around 73 years ago young padawan. |
