On being french; Balzac wrote; " To see things as they are, means to believe in nothing, in no affection, in no man,not even in events;- events can be falsified and manufactured. To see things as they are means you must weigh your friends purse every morning, know the proper moment to intervene, to twist whatever may turn up to profit you, suspend your judgement, and be in no hurry to admire art or achievement, in every action look for the motive of self interest."
This statement captures chirac, and his chiding of the states knocking at the euro door, what folly this mans vision is, he presumes that the euro union is realized that it already is; mr chirac you presume too much.
mr chirac, in your haste to place yourself at the center of power, you betray your self interest to those who might have not known the extent of your meglomania . Now, you are naked in the face of it, and as a result, others who might have tolerated your ceremony of anointment by the process of jumping and kneeling on command, may tire quickly and in there adopted french way, tell you, to go f...yourself. |
