#1 I love this quote from the same article:

Europe did not take to the streets against America last weekend; only Western Europe did. The streets of Eastern Europe were silent. The Poles, and their Eastern European neighbors, have an immediate personal experience of life under tyranny...The French and their neighbors are six decades removed from their liberation. They think freedom is as natural as the air they breathe, rather than purchased at the price of blood -- American blood in no small measure

#2 France wants to be a world power. They haven't had any real military success since Napoleon, so now they try to win by being clever, with the same results as their military efforts.
