#2 Serves them right for reading too much Derrida and Foucault.

#3 Authorities estimate that around a dozen Frenchmen of north African Arab background have gone to Iraq via Syria to join the insurgency against US-led troops, but said there was no proof of an organised recruitment network
Why do I get the feeling that the French government would actually encourge activist French islamics to seek their fate in Iraq?

#6 Once again we've done a favor for the French which will never be repaid nor will it garner their appreciation.

#7 I took my son, who tends not to keep up with current events, to the National D-Day Museum. The exhibits at the museum make very vivid the sacrifices made by our soldiers (and those of our allies) in liberating France. I pointed at St. Mere Eglise on a big map and told my son, "That's probably the only town in France where we'd still be welcome." To which he replied incredulously, "The French don't like us? Why?" I wish I had had a camcorder with me.
