#1 I'm not entirely convinced. I've come across more than my share of shameless jerks that have had no qualms about saying they're sorry when they don't really mean it, just to mollify whoever it is they pissed off. There'll be another time to test Schroeder (or whomever is in his place). We shall see then.

#2 Chirac called blair america's "poodle". I think there is a tendancy to see america in dog terms as well, as that faithful companion that always comes back after you kick it.

The crucial difference here is that once the dog realizes it can bite without repercussions, you need to be a lot more careful about kicking it.

#3 Chirac hasn't learned to distinguish between a chihuaua and a wolf. Bad, bad mistake!

#4 In regards to France. Someone who bites the hand that feeds him will often lick the boot that kicks him.
