moral superiority,

Oh, my. It is difficult to take lectures from the French in moral superiority. After all, two countries tried to have a revolution based on the "Enlightenment." The United States succeeded. France failed. As a result the USA leads the world, while the French, kicking and screaming, follow along with everyone else, behind us. As far as "Moral Behavior" goes, we will see how the French react after the extremists among their Muslim population turn their attention to shaping up France.

BTW, have I mentioned that one of the side benefits of having the USA run the world is the ascendency of the English language? Not just English, but American English. To be precise, CNN English, the "Middle West" version of American English. If any of you French need to clean up your accent, you can always turn on CNN and listen carefully.

Yes, I look forward to the future with the certain knowledge that French, once believed to be the Diplomatic Language of the world, is on it's way to becoming just another "backwater" lingo.
