Viva la Franc!

This will really smart and hurt ChIraq and his thugs. This will be like pouring salt and vinegar on the wounds not healed from their last election.

You may be correct.

But in the case of the French, the "man on the street" can usually be summarized as being obstreperous, selfish, intolerant, ignorant, duplicitous, and arrogant.

My take is that the "man on the street' upset the elitist apple cart by just doing what they do best....reject it....In this case, "it" was something totally stupid...And so we can all smile.

He also wants to bring back the Monarchy. In France, that might actually be a good thing!

LOL. I'm no fan of monarchies in general, but I agree with your statement.
