Le Pays Pompeux (or the Gall of the Gauls)
08/29/2002

Now, for all I know, the folks at the Pentagon worry themselves sick over the opinions of Frenchmen. But this quote from a story in the New York Times about a "change in tone" in France's position with respect to the United States seems a bit unrealistic about the importance of the Gauls:

Another [French] senior official put it more bluntly, "We're driving the Pentagon crazy by keeping silent."

I'd suggest that the only people who'll be driven crazy by this silence are the writers for Saturday Night Live and Jonah Goldberg.
