Maybe you thought you were a bit harsh and unfair with the French lately. Maybe you thought that, after all, it was more than time to forget about the squabble and "fall in love again."

Think again:

...France was not just Baathist Iraq's largest contributor of funds; French banks have financed other odious regimes. They are the No. 1 lenders to Iran and Cuba and past and present U.S. foes such as Somalia, Sudan and Vietnam.

By Mike Gonzales in the WSJ, and not knowingly understated by Stephen Pollard (don't miss the comments, there are some interesting points by Stephen's readers)

The French idiots will be happy at the simple idea that their government, its state and private owned banks are lending millions of dollars to America's foes.

The last square of decent and thoughtful French will feel nauseous at the idea that their hard earned money is distributed to the worse dictatorships on the face of this Earth, including to those that devoted themselves to our own downfall, in order to oppose the greatest democracy.

One could call that treachery of our alleged values a "suicide by proxy", but the suicide being involuntary (at least for the aforementioned last square) I would rather name it a premeditated murder of the French nation and its people by the French ruling and financial elite.

Among the last square, those with a particularly tough stomach will also have the time to notice, with a disillusioned smile, before they rush to the toilet, that the loan looks furiously like a gift.

Unless one seriously believes that Cuba or North Korea is a solvent patron.

Consequently, the ultimate thought before throwing up is that this ever harder to earn money will keep flowing to support more murdering states, as far as they're declared enemies of the West.

I promise a hell of a party the day I'll finally get rid of my French passport and nationality. Should be fun. Be there.

In the meantime, I hope there are enough people in the camp of freedom to understand that in this war, the most significant part of France chose the opposite side.

Peut être avez vous pensé que vous y étiez allé un peu fort avec les français dernièrement. Peut être avez vous pensé qu'après tout, il était plus que temps d'oublier la querelle et de "s'aimer à nouveau."

Pensez-y encore :

...La France n'était pas seulement le plus gros contributeur de fond de l'Irak Baathiste; les banques françaises ont financé d'autres régimes odieux. Elles sont les prêteurs n° 1 de l'Iran, de Cuba et des ennemis passés et présents des USA, tels que Somalie, Soudan et Vietnam.

Par Mike Gonzales dans le Wall Street Journal, et non sous-entendu de bonne foi par Stephen Pollard (ne manquez pas les commentaires, les lecteurs de Stephen marquent quelques points intéressants)

Les idiots français se réjouiront à la seule idée que leur gouvernement et leurs banques d'état et privées prêtent des millions de dollars aux ennemis de l'Amérique.

Le dernier carré de français décents et réfléchis se sentira nauséeux à la seule idée que leur argent durement gagné est distribué aux pires dictatures sur la face de cette terre, y compris à celles qui se sont vouées à notre propre perte, dans le but de s'opposer à la plus grande démocratie.

On pourrait appeler cette trahison de nos prétendues valeurs un "suicide par procuration", mais le suicide étant involontaire (tout au moins pour le dernier carré susmentionné) j'aurai plutôt tendance à y voir un meurtre prémédité de la nation française et de son peuple par les élites dirigeantes et financières françaises.

Parmi le dernier carré, ceux dotés d'un estomac particulièrement solide auront encore le temps, avant de foncer aux toilettes, de noter avec un sourire désabusé, que le prêt ressemble furieusement à un don.

A moins de croire sérieusement que Cuba et la Corée du Nord sont des clients solvables.

En conséquence, la dernière pensé avant de vomir est que cet argent de plus en plus durement gagné va continuer d'affluer en soutien de plus en plus d'Etats assassins, pour autant qu'ils soient ennemis déclarés de l'Occident.

Je promets une bringue d'enfer le jour ou je serai finalement débarrassé du passeport et de la nationalité française. Cela devrait être amusant. Soyez-y.

En attendant, j'espère qu'il se trouve suffisamment de monde dans le camp de la liberté pour comprendre que dans cette guerre, la partie la plus significative de la France a choisi le côté opposé.

Sans vouloir défendre Shirak et sa clique, gardons-nous de sombrer dans la naïveté ou la théorie du complot. Le Pakistan ne vaut pas mieux que l'Iran, et l'Arabie Saoudite pas mieux que la Corée du Nord. S'ils n'ont pas été inclus dans "l'axe du mal", c'est parce que les US y ont des intérêts financiers solides. D'ailleurs, la France fricote AUSSI avec ces deux pays. Arrêtons un peu de déconner, business is business et ce n'est pas un dictateur qui empêchera une boîte d'investir dans un pays, qu'elle soit française ou américaine. Cette campagne anti-française tourne simplement à l'hystérie. Shirak est immonde, OK, mais le Canada, la Russie, la Chine et l'Allemagne n'ont pas fait mieux par rapport à l'Irak. Alors pourquoi n'y a-t-il que les Français qui se font traiter d'animaux malfaisants, puants, débiles, etc.?

3rd year in a row that France &ermany are in violation of EU standards for deficits. So instead of paying a fine they choose to ignore their own rules. At the same time they give grants to Lill Kim in RNK, and finance Iran's nuclear ambitions. This is the dreaded EU mega country to rival the US on the global scene? It's not just UN sanctions, resolutions, and obligations that France chooses to ignore. This is almost good news. We were starting to think it was something personal.

"I promise a hell of a party the day I'll finally get rid of my French passport and nationality. Should be fun. Be there." That is one party that will be an honor to attend if I am able to do so! Immigrants very often make the best Americans, and I hope it is the US that the Dissident Frogman will choose to make home.

Ok, its agreed. We all want the frogman to come to America. Perhaps we should now start making donations to the alms box to back up our words. DF, which would be most helpful? Euros? Dollars?

Although I hope Citizen DF chooses the United States as his destination, I am also saddened by a France so reprobate that her best and brightest are compelled to abandon her. When Citizen DF leaves France that will leave France one less citizen to fight the good fight. France is being abandoned to the worst of her polity: nanny-state socialists and bureaucrats, unrepentant Stalinists, sulking Bonapartists, Islamofascists and anti-Semites, bigots and cagoules. How can such a stew cohere as a nation? I too will toast DF, Citizen of the United States. I will hold high a flute of the magnificient Henriot Cuvée des Enchanteleurs, saluting the best from France with the best of France. DGB

Frogman: If you would like to immigrate to the United States then you can apply for the diversity visa (also known as the "green card lottery") if you haven't already done so. There are 50,000 available each year and it's pretty much "first come, first serve" to citizens of eligible countries...French citizens are eligible. The next open season will be October or November of 2004, so good luck if you intend to apply. Yours truly, Awaiting Frogman Tadpoles

Hi DF, sorry to hear that you may give up on France. Home is home, after all, and I'm sure there's much you'd miss. But we'll bring the beer for your welcome soiree Stateside. Or perhaps you can persuade les authorities to outfit you upon your departure, like the prison wardens of old - new suit and twenty bucks. Of course, your situation is more like a jailbreak than a parole, but they may be glad to be rid of you at last - poor saps. In the meantime, enjoy London.
