France and Africa
So how to punish the French? Changing the name of French fries won't do it, nor pouring French wine into the gutter. But here's an idea: dismantle the French empire in Africa. France has long supported African dictators who rob their own people to go on shopping sprees in the Rue de la Paix. The US should support the democratic opposition to every French client across the continent. It's a win-win solution: promote democracy in a badly-governed region, and castrate the French at the same time. Here's another suggestion for getting back at the French, and some earlier items on nickdenton.org and Gawker. ·Buy French! and Absinthe [Gawker] ·Fashion wars [Gawker] ·Why is French an official language? ·International manners ·French hypocrisy ·French anti-semitism ·Happy France ·Mob rule in France#
