France has little real global influence. For
example, they believe they created a successful political coalition
based on their views regarding Iraq. The self interests of their current
allies, Germany and Russia will over ride what they think they have
created.
France uses blame and hatred as policy and to rally its people. They blame
for America for being successful, powerful and for its pride in its
accomplishments. By doing this, they divert attention from their growing
problems. France has little to be proud of in 2003.
France's society is based on entitlement. This halts progressive changes
in government and places a big burden on its economy. Their workers want a
full days pay for half time work. Further, their economy is not adaptable
to changes and is therefore fragile.
France's military is outdated and weak. They think their small
nuclear weapons arsenal is military power. A powerful military relies on
competent people and systems not a nuclear arsenal.
France's political and cultural leaders do not have a vision for the
future. The world always changes and to participate, their leaders
must engage the present. They refuse to do so. They cannot embrace a
future when they live in the past.
The French are racists. The rising number of non-white immigrants,
especially from the Arab world, increase racial tensions and the potential
for violence. France is not equipped to handle this.
The French are anti-Semites. The influx of Arab peoples into France has
helped this along, but at the core, they despise Jews in every way. Little
has changed since WWII, when France was conquered by Germany and the
French government then embraced the anti-Semitic views of their Nazi
overlords.
