A Message To The People Of France

Apparently many French are embarrassed by President Nicolas Sarkozy's behavior. They're upset by his love of yachts and private jets, and the fact that he married his super model girlfriend after knowing her for only 80 days. Many go as far as to question his mental health.

As an American, I can only say to the people of France: Shut up!!! You have nothing to be ashamed about. Has your President invaded a country, then lied about his rationale for doing so? Has your President caused tens of thousands of deaths through his foolhardy actions? Did your President defy world opinion by saying "we'll go it alone," invading that country anyway, then when it became obvious he had f*cked up, turn around and tell the world it was their duty to help? Has your President's generally reckless pursuit of foreign policy alienated the majority of the world?

Has your President turned his back on everything science has taught the world and questioned the validity of evolution? Has your President repeatedly shown a blatant disregard for your nation's Constitution? Has your President used some sort of twisted logic to justify the very kind of torture that your nation once prosecuted Japanese soldiers for using pm your own troops?

Has your President repeatedly mangled your native language?

Does your President try to maintain public support by invoking fear?

If you answered "no" to any of the above questions, you have absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about.
