So does everyone else, including myself. As I stated, it was not my intention to defend the french governments policies, but rather instead to voice that there does exist a significant portion of France that does recognize what we have done to help them. It is indeed a shame that there voices are silent. But this has not played out yet, and I am witholding full condemnation until such time as it has played out.
I do note today that Chirac has extended overtures towards Blair, so time will tell. But I think uprooting thousands of graves and bringing the remains back to the USA is an overreaction.
Regarding French Culture, they do make some damn fine wines, and no, I am not ready to pour out my three cases of 2000 Bordeaux's.
Of course not. I just wouldn't buy any more.
Besides California wines are better anyway.
