Victor David Hanson on the French

Sun October 12th, 2003 11:30 MST

Victor David Hanson is one of the best writers on the poorly named “War on Terror.” His latest commentary (which should be read completely) has this nice little tidbit:

French newspapers may blare, “The slowly rotting situation in Iraq, the Mideast and Afghanistan has destroyed the myth American omnipotence,” but they don’t tell us how removing the Taliban and Saddam Hussein is worse than selling weapons to them — or why and how France lost 30 times more of its own citizens to heat in a month than we lost soldiers in battle in two years. Apparently French apartments are far more deadly places than the Pakistani border or the Sunni Triangle.

This is not the heart of the article… just funny. Read the whole thing for a nice perspective on our war.
