Jean Francois Revel, RIP

French philosopher, logical thinker and Atlanticist is dead at 82.

"Obsessed by their hatred and floundering in illogicality, these dupes (Europeans) forget that the United States, acting in her own self-interest, is also acting in the interest of us Europeans and in the interest of many other countries, threatened, or already subverted and ruined, by terrorism."
