Mark Steyn French-bashing

Welcome National Review Online readers!

It's nice to come back from lunch and see a monumental spike in traffic.

In keeping with the Bastille Day theme, and bashing the French, see this piece from the excellent Mark Steyn. Here's an excerpt:

France is admirably upfront in its unilateralism: It reserves the right to treat French Africa as its colonies, Middle Eastern dictators as its clients, the European Union as a Greater France and the UN as a kind of global condom to prevent the spread of Americanization. All this it does shamelessly and relatively effectively. It’s time the rest of us were so clear-sighted.
