Ahhh the French; John Kerry's hole card. Accept, and until you understand what it means to be French....in my lifetime I've always been forced back to this definition from a great french writer Honree Balzac; here is how he defines the french psyche;

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."
Edit the last few words insert "motive moment where self interest emerges";
