    Chirac is a tiresome elitist. He is also a pompous charlatan, and for someone so supposedly educated and superior in manners and grace (yak) he sure offends so many of his fellow Euros.

    Ahem. That being said, he can be technically correct on restraining Turkey's entrance, and the US, is of course not part of Europe.
    It must be them again. Start the response cycle.

    Now now now, Tiger...
    France has been a democracy since 1792 (French Revolution). It has since then been a republic, and the current republican system is called the Fifth Republic - they've had 4 other types of republic before (most of them being parliamentary republican democracies). Right now, France has a presidential republican system.

    Let's not forget that the 1792-constitution was largely based on the American one... one could state that the French saw the flaws in it - hence they changed it 4 times
    Although of course you could state also that it took them 166 years to get it right and switch to a presidential system in stead of a parliamentary system...

    Neg: Details, details....

    Cybrid:

    Give them another 100 years and they might actually even win a war
    Let's see.... They fought somewhat in WWI but lost badly. They barely fought in WWII 'cos the dozey buggers built their Maginot Line only as far as the Belgian border because they didn't want to piss off the Belgians.... So what did Germany do? They went around it.... duh. They were dancing in Paris before the French realized that they couldn't face their guns backwards...... Then came Vietnam.... Another mess. Their only effective unit was made up of ex WWII German SS soldiers fighting for them as part of the Foreign Legion. They became known by the Viet Minh as "The Devils Guard" for the way they conducted war against the Vietnamese. But then the French gave up and moved out and, if IRRC, left the Devils Guard there on their own.......

    France haven't won anything significant in 2-300 years. France won't fight in the next 100 years. How then, will they win anything? They are below contempt.
    Don\'t SYN us.... We\'ll SYN you.....
