A comment by the dissident frogman on Psychotic Decompensation ♠ Décompensation Psychotique

Paul: (...) what did you think of Colombani's editorial in Le Monde? Do you think he's serious, or is he just yanking my chain? My French is still a bit spotty, so I may have missed the gist of some of it, but it did seem to acknowledge that America and Europe are in the same boat with respect to al Qaeda. (...) On September 12, 2001, Le Monde's headline was "We all are Americans"... Do I need to say more? One golden rule: never trust the French press when it looks like it's back to senses. And remember the old saying "fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice…" W is right, pertaining to France as she currently is. You should not only write her off, but also watch her closely, since you do have enemies here, and they're the ruling and administrating class of this country (elected or not, and with the exception of a handful of individuals - without real influence - the whole political class is fiercely and unconditionally anti-American) For France to be worthy of America's trust, respect and friendship, it will take a radical change of men, minds and politics "“ as well as a complete change at the society level - that is nowhere in sight or perspective. If that day ever happens - and if I still hold a French passport at that time - I'll be glad to drive you around, in chosen places of the most beautiful parts of France, where we'll have too much to drink, yet without reasons to depress. That I can I promise.
