[Sir Taliesin]

I was under the impression that our French contigent had left, though I hope not. I rather enjoyed all the debates with Masklinn and Moiraine was an original "Blue Board" Member.

As for the article, I found it quite interesting and possibly a bit over the top, though it does provide plausible explainations for what has gone on.

My take on the the French attitude toward the US was that they were trying to split the EU away from the US sphere of influence, to create a stronger EU and, possibly in the distant future, a new country; in which they might have a greater say over policy. They are trying to create a balance against the big, bad Superpower known as the United States. This diffinetly puts a new spin on things. Is this guy some sort of a French Pat Buchanon?
