The French Know I’m No Defeatist

Here’s what they really think:


Marc Fumaroli in in Le Point, 27 mars, 2008, p. 108:

"The Restless Mind" (1993) de Peter A. Lawler, un best-seller de gare, a fait de Tocqueville le saint Thomas de l’orthodoxie neoconservatrice, preparant a l’invasion de l’Iran et au bombardement de la Serbie"...

Looking to the French for references on the subject of defeatism is setting the bar kind of low....... don't ya' think?

Murat and Ney have been in their graves for many a moon now. Too damn bad too, for never were they needed as now.
