France Reclaims its Balls

I must say, for quite some time I have thought of France as a big whiny liberal cess pool. The new President however is quickly changing my viewpoint. Here is a little excerpt from his latest speech:

France will remain engaged in Afghanistan for as long as it takes, because what is at stake in that country is the very future of our values and that of the Atlantic alliance," Sarkozy said. "Failure is not an option. Terrorism will not prevail. For democracies are not entitled to be weak, and because we, the free world, are not afraid of this new barbarism. And because of that, America can count on France in its battle on terror."

On how he feels about America, he had this to say:

He also spoke emotionally in the toast of American sacrifices in liberating France from Nazi occupation in World War II and vowed that "never will any French man or woman forget that."

Sarkozy said: "In my country there are thousands upon thousands of white crosses to remember those men who didn't know France, and yet who came to die on French soil. And I want to tell you that whenever a U.S. soldier dies anywhere in the world, I think of what the . . . American army and Americans have done for us."

After reading that, I got a tear in my eye. Its nice for a European Country to recognize the things that the US had done and is doing for the world.

Thank You Mr. Sarkozy, for remembering what our Countries have done for each other.
