Gonna join the little me-too club here. Genghis is
right. The U.S. has an unfortunate tendency to ignore any wise
advice from leaders of other countries, and with a particular disdain
for any from a Frenchman, even when it is bloody obvious that they have
some experience that is to the point. Obvious to anyone who knows
anything about history, that is.
Oh well, we're up to our eyeballs in it now.
