Heh!
I know I'm not being fair to France,...Anon<br />Heh!<br />I know I'm not being fair to France, but they have had a way of lecturing everybody else while their own history is a checkered. Of course you probably could say the same thing about the US.<br />France and all of Europe has a problem that they themselves are going to have to work out.<br />Are they going to go the path of the EU or are they going to reinstate some form of nationalism? I realize that even the terms of the above question can be argued about endlessly, that doesn't invalidate it.<br />My money is on great changes are coming and nothing is going to stop them.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13642228725661059539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-24955942666012743192017-03-29T15:37:52.326-07:002017-03-29T15:37:52.326-07:00Later, they were so ... je ne sais quois ... they ...Later, they were so ... je ne sais quois ... they got Emperor Boney. <br /><br />The mad megalomaniac devastated Europe and an entire generation of young French men. <br /><br />Some say the population never recovered.

Let's invade and colonize Algeria. That sounds like fun!"<br /><br />They took over Algeria in 1830 because they were sick of Islamic piracy at their end of the Mediterranean (otherwise known as the Barbary States). This had been going on for centuries, BTW. <br /><br />Blahgga the HuttAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-71500593395955567342017-03-28T10:53:30.252-07:002017-03-28T10:53:30.252-07:00What in the world are French values?

I believe that's "radical" only in (or to) quite-leftist France. However, it seem the polling indicates Le Pen is mainstream for the 61% who consider Islam unfit for France.Sam L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00996809377798862214noreply@blogger.com
