The French are easy to pick on...their former colonies are among the poorest in the world (Chad, Burkina Faso), they got their ass handed to them in WW2, and they outrank us in voter apathy (witness the last election).

I'm not in favor of an invasion of Iraq, but even I can concede that the French are making a bad situation worse (Chirac's recent comments, the situation with NATO).

The only mental midget around here is you, tw.
