The Cote d'Ivoire is a former French colony and the frogs, when they turned these jungle-ani loose with their own flag and national anthem, reserved the right to sort them out as needed.

There are also thousands of French folk living there, and many more visiting it for the beaches. Have to protect them. Been there. Beautiful.

The French, unlike us and the Brits, realized that colonialism ended about 250 years too early. They also have a different kind of racism than we do. If you wear pants and speak decent French, the frogs are happy to accept you as a brother ... and a brother-in-law, too.

So's Viet Nam. I'll expect neoncon wannabe' Sarkozy to march in there any day to enforce fair elections. Same with our armchair tough guys. You just know that's what Joe Lieberman and Bill Kristol talk about over beers at the VFW. /sarc

“A no-fly zone in Libya has been in the news. Recall some history; back in 1781, at the Battle of Yorktown in Virginia, George Washington won the Revolutionary War because the French fleet blocked the British fleet from rescuing General Cornwallis. This was a No-Sail Zone. The French seem always up to this sortie thing.”

France’s no-sail zone saved Washington and us Americans.

What kind of “racism” does the United States of America have?
