The French and the Terrorists

It looks like the terrorists really did themselves in this time.

The French took an accommodating approach with them, but they won't be accommodating to them when they are slaughtering French people.

For a long time, the French have been seen as cowards. The real situation is that they are pacifists; but that does not mean that they are weak. They have goodwill to all sorts of people and want a peaceful co-existence. But that doesn't mean that they are cowards, and it does not mean that they will put up with people who want to kill them.

This conflict will be an opportunity for the French to show that they are not cowards. The shame that they suffered through their dismal performance during the Second World War stands a chance to be redeemed.

I wish the French the best, and I hope that they prove themselves during this conflict. Then they will be again taken seriously as a real power with willingness and ability to stand up to aggression.
