A French friend of mine just e-mailed:
It’s 09:02 pm in Paris, 10 minutes ago I was at a friend’s house for dinner. During drinks, someone turned the TV on, French news cable net LCI was broadcasting those horrible images of US POWs. Believe it or not, but my friends made jokes about those fine soldiers! So, I grabbed my coat, said goodbye in German, as French collaborateurs should be addressed, and left. I guess it’s about time to apply for a US immigrant visa…
Come on over, mon ami. We don’t call it the Land of the Free, Home of the Brave for nothing.
