Does Jacques Chirac and French arrogance have no bounds? FULL ARTICLE
Chirac, like a spoiled brat is trying to bully other countries into falling in line behind the French position by threatening thier EU membership applications.
Chirac said: "These countries have been not very well behaved and rather reckless of the danger of aligning themselves too rapidly with the American position."
"It is not really responsible behavior. It is not well brought-up behavior. They missed a good opportunity to keep quiet."
"I felt they acted frivolously because entry into the European Union implies a minimum of understanding for the others," Chirac said.
Chirac called the letters "infantile" and "dangerous," adding: "They missed a great opportunity to shut up."
Sorry France but contrary to your beliefs you are not the center of the universe. The rest of the world is not at your beck and call, the world will not bend over for you just because you make a childish hissy fit. The other countries in Europe can side with whoever they want and threatening thier membership into the EU is arrogant beyond all belief. Isn't this the same country that is always falsely accusing the USA of this sort of thing?
If my math is right, isn't it 18 european countries siding with the USA vs 3 (if you include Russia) siding with France. Under Chirac's logic, If anyone should be kicked out of the EU for not falling in line, it should be the 4 odd balls. But France and Chirac are to arrogant, self centered, and egotistical to even realize that.
