Re: And it comes down to france
The problem Mr Ambassador is that the WTO, and the EU, and the tangle of government entities has not created an economy that employs people. Asia is kicking their a$$, and India is not doing badly either. While the Europeans contemplate their navels there are countries who work harder and faster with less government overhead.
Let's not forget, far more than the US, Germany and France supported the likes of Saddam, even though they have gotten off scot-free from that responsibility. You just like their holier-than-thou attitude, despite the facts.
Go have a latte and bicth about the US, the EU certainly lead in that activity....
