Thursday, March 13, 2003Time to show France we're serious. Couretesy of the Chicago Boyz: Our problem with France is similar to our problem with the Arabs: they don't think we're serious. Neither the Arabs nor the French think that we have the resolve, the bloody mindedness needed to see this war through to victory and to punish countries that impede us. After all, we quit without finishing the job in 1991 and, with the minor exception of Afghanistan, we've been bluffing and pulling punches ever since. If we want to deal successfully with the Arabs now, we are going to have to defeat Saddam Hussein and remove him from power--and preferably kill him or put him in a cell with Manuel Noriega. And if we want to deal successfully with the French, we should embark on a long-term effort to marginalize France politically until it changes its anti-American tune. We should also make a point to retaliate personally against Chirac and his political associates. (I'm not sure how much we can do in this regard, but both Bush's father and Clinton interfered, with some success, in Israeli elections, and we've done similar things in other countries, so maybe we should do the same in France. I doubt that Chirac would have any compunction about aiding Bush's opponent in 2004 if he could do so.)
