The problem I have with France is their blind eye to history. Hitler should have never reached the point he did. He broke one little rule after the next until he became so powerful no one could stop him. Lets also not forget the stab in the back the French pulled. Do you know what country France stuck a knife in? I think it would be Poland. I'm not sure but I do know they had an agreement to stand with this country and then France signed with Germany behind everyone's backs and they fell in less than six weeks once Germany turned on them.
The more we let other nations break UN regulations the more chance we will allow history to repeat itself. I admit "coward" is to strong a word but at the same time the French allowed Germany to become a super power. The more nations with violent leaders we allow to arm themselves the less safe the world becomes for all of us. If there should be a nation that should understand this simple fact one would think France would be at the top of the list.
