At this time there is no connection between this incident and AQ or any islamic organisation.

if this was the norm and expected why did mr chirac hold an emergency meeting over the threat aimed at france by AQ

You know, that French surrender humor has been done to death... and it really dishonors the millions of French soldiers who died opposing the Kaiser and Hitler.

I'm sorry if I am coming across preachy, but we have French people in this forum and that probably isn't as funny to them, mate.

The problem is not the mean jokes but that they're misguided.

The French are to blame for their own defeat in WW2. "The French" are the pacifist movements and every Frenchmen who participated in the peace rallies carrying white flags, all the way to 1938 when it should've been obvious peace would not come through wish. The politicians who backed these people and set as a policy to build the pathetic Maginot line, who believed in it. The designers of the French war machinery, Tanks designed with Trench warfare in mind. Guderian's books were available to any French general.

So the aim is at the symbol. Hitler is a symbol of how to use democracy to crush democracy. The French responsable for what I mention above are a symbol of how to walk towards your own slaughterhouse without realizing it, while having all the necessary conditions not to.
