Thanks for the translation, zonder, showing that Chirac's tirade was quite as undiplomatic in the original as in the translation.

"qui ont perdu une bonne occasion de se taire"

"pas très bien élevés et un peu inconscients des dangers que comportait un trop rapide alignement sur la position américaine"

"Si, sur le premier sujet difficile, on se met à donner son point de vue indépendamment de toute concertation avec l'ensemble dans lequel on veut entrer, alors ce n'est pas un comportement bien responsable. En tout cas, ce n'est pas très bien élevé."


Geez, I don't think even Don Rumsfeld has every accused foreign diplomats of being "not well brought up" for disagreeing with the American position.

What a tirade. The purpose of the EU is for everybody else to shut up and agree with the French position, like well brought up children, is it? Well, we'll see about that. I suspect "New Europe" may harbor its own ideas about such treatment.
