The French Government announced today that in light of the Madrid
bombing, France has raised its terror alert level from "run" to
"hide." The only two higher levels in France are "surrender" and
"collaborate."


One (between others) thing France has managed to do :

France has done a lot of things throughout the history, including supporting
this nation through the Revolutionary War (for their own reasons of course),
but that does mean we can't but their chops every now and then ;-)

And another thing the French managed to do recently is avoid helping
to create another terrorist state in the Middle East.

"France was the only country, other than the United States, to
conduct air strikes against the Taliban in Afghanistan, with their
Mirage jets and Super Etenard fighters hitting more than 30 targets
during Operation Anaconda in March 2002. The French enthusiastically
backed the Afghanistan war, breaking with Washington only on the
Iraq question."

France pledges to shoot down private pilots in D-Day air space

An odd thing for someone with a last name like Gaquin to be saying.
