The French are extremely hard to understand and pin down. They make decisions and take action in such an erratic fashion, I often wonder if they're just flipping a coin! But they have a pretty good military which includes some of the fiercest warriors around (the Foreign Legion) and although the last century hasn't given them much to cheer about, I don't think they're at all deserving of the "surrender monkey" tag.
I'm glad they've decided to stand with the US and its allies in being resolutely against Iran's acquisition of nukes.

Bienvenue à bord!
