French Foreign Minister Calls Code Pink 'Stupid' During Interruption
Sunday, September 23, 2007 at 07:06PM French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner, who last week said "We must prepare for the worst” against Iran (referring to war), addressed Center for Strategic and International Studies where he was interrupted by (sigh, who else..) Code Pink.
CODE PINK: (being carried away) Why did you say we should be going to war with Iran? We don’t want war with Iran! No war with Iran! No war with Iran!
KOUCHNER: But they are right; no war in Iran! Let them come!
CODE PINK: No war with Iran! No war with Iran!
KOUCHNER: Ask them to come and sit, please!
So, I’d suggest today that we reach……
CODE PINK: (shouting from the hallway) NO WAR WITH IRAN! NO WAR WITH IRAN!!
KOUCHNER: But I agree, stupid! (laughter, applause)
I'm starting to really like the French.

You're right, Amy. It is nice to be able to start liking the French once again. Suddenly, with countries like Iran and Russia started to rattle their sabers, the old US of A is starting to look pretty good to them again.
I often look back to the WWII French Underground as an example of Western guerrilla tactics against a superior military force. Even though they were admittedly dominated by communists, the French Underground movements fought their Nazi occupiers with great bravery and courage.
The differences between the ways in which these brave WWII warriors fought back and the ways in which our present day jihadis wage their wars against the West are startling in their contrasts. The French more often than not attacked heavily guarded munitions trains and arms depots, important military targets defended by well-trained soldiers using machine-guns. They didn't resort to blowing up German civilians in coffee shops or attacking German schools and holding German school children hostages.
Culture matters. And that is one commodity that the French certainly have in abundance. Viva la France!
Darn, this makes it hard for me to sing my favorite parody of "I Like Chinese"
I like the French
I like the French
L like to club them with a wrench.
They're rude
They're hateful
and their language makes no sense
Now this French pres comes along and has a real spine, bot the chocolate eclaire his predecessor had.
