Look if you read the whole of my post you'll note that first I viewed this article as a gross oversimplification and American-centric view of French political expression. The second thing I brought up was the bias of the writer (and in your case poster) of the article - but then I moved on to the important part: namely the Gaulish approach to world politics, within the context of the goal of re-establishing or re-gaining French prominence; not the goal of simply thwarting American interests...
Seriously I thought the ol' Republican bashing of France was so 2003

1) Don't apologize when you attack someone Coop...do it straight on. You didn't point anything out...you simply labeled me as someone with a bias, which isn't true. Again let's look at our histories from my previous post (I don't mind repeating my words just for you): "I am intelligent, lived in France, speak French, eat French foods, have family in France with property, and also INVEST in French companies. Your reputation is one of violence, one of lies, one of absurdity, and oh yeah your link to France is that your brother went there for a little while."
2) You also attack the writer. Why? Let's see he writes for one of the top 2 most respected political publications in America (an honor which the National Review and the New Republic share). This piece was written for the New York Times, arguably one of the best newspapers in the world and quite possibly the best - also at a complete end of the political spectrum from the Review (not that it matters what political party you belong to one bit). You attack him as biased because he co-wrote a previous book detailing problems in Franco-American relations as well. Wow, I didn't know researching and having a background in something made you biased.
3) This has nothing to do with Republicans or American political parties. Stop rolling your eyes and stop attacking anything American for once as this is totally irrelevant.
