The French rush in
Let me declare my bias, as a person born in England I am genetically programmed to be suspicious of the French (the Paris guys not the Montrealers) Never having won a war and always looking for a fight to run away from or surrender out of.
So these are the guys that the Harpercrits and the Dion dummies are relying on to haul their ashes out of the fire. A Battalion of frenchies (less than the 1000 demanded by parliament) are moving into the holiday camps enjoyed by the other "fighting" forces of the Dutch, German, Italian, Ukrainians and the other nations who use "caveats" to avoid meeting the enemy. Remind me next time when we renew the NATO alliance to join up with "caveats". We can avoid casualties and spend less money!

I rather enjoyed Adolphe Menjou's performance in Paths Of Glory. It seemed to capture the nuanced feel of the Gallic approach to all things militaristic. Oh, sure, it had nothing on the real thing -deGaulle in Montreal starting a mini-revolt of the oppressed peasants- but still, it highlighted the importance of a decent fois gras properly paired with a dry-ish Neuchatel before sending the hapless grunts to the firing squad. Nes pas?
