TJ, you weren't paying attention. Who would watch the watcher? <until Iran agrees to adopt the new constitution and have NUN inspectors check around to make sure they aren't up to no good. > You obviously didn't notice the NUN reference.
I don't have hyperlink technology for NUN, but a search of SI would find a few references for you. Add Mqurice to get eliminate irrelevant urls.
In regard to the French < I think I would leave it to the French, much civilized, more fun-loving, and certainly better cooks.> I think they will eat cheese and surrender to Islamic Jihad as they surrendered to Rome, to the Moors, to Germany [three times that I recall, rescued each time by NZ with some help from Britain/USA/Russia/Oz/Canada/India/China etc], to Russia, to Britain. and maybe some more [Switzerland in the case of Geneva and surrounds?] I haven't seen that they have surrendered to Belgium or Luxembourg yet, though I understand Lichtenstein was a threat and Andorra and Monaco sent them packing.
Napoleon did okay for a while after the mass murdering in the French Revolution, but got good and thumped in Russia, with the 1812 Overture to commemorate the defeat, and finally routed and beaten by the British and dumped on St Helena to see out his days.
The French can't even control their dogs which crap all over them, or their children, who coat the place in graffiti, rubbish and broken glass and that's when they aren't rioting, burning and destroying. Singapore is clean as a whistle [mostly though I found a graffiti in a tunnel and there's rubbish around the place so the standards are slipping and I see on a notice downstairs that our mentor leader Lee Kwan Yew is warning against going down welfarist state roads and advising those living in our apartment blocks to vote for lift [elevator] upgrades to enhance their property value. He is certainly going into the detail to be concerning himself with lifts in these apartment blocks.
Plus the French are quite nasty, bombing MV Rainbow Warrior in a state-run terrorist attack, killing a photographer.
I hasten to add that I'm not racist against the French. Heck, some of my best friends are French and even my name could be mistaken for being French, so I don't want any trouble, plus I firmly believe that they should be treated as human and enjoy full human rights, for the most part anyway; even though they can't speak English. They can hardly understand it, even when I speak loudly and enunciate my words clearly, and wave my hands at them in Gallic fashion.
I'm not sure whether they are dull or obtuse, but the standard of English is less than you'd get in Hong Kong, much much worse than here in Singapore, and not even as good as in India. Heck, I think that even in Beijing there are more local yokels we came across able to speak the Queen's English [mostly involved in art galleries for some odd reason].
But right next door to England, in France, after hundreds of years, they have picked up a few words like restaurant, cafe, Coca Cola, Big Mac, and have adopted the metric system, but still can't count in English, saying uhn, duh, twa, kart, sunk, six [they almost got that one but say "seece"], set, wheat, nerf, dix [pronounced deece which they have half-confused with six for some reason].
Plus the Americans are experienced in nuclear bombing and have lots to spare and are more credible as everyone knows they are crazy enough to do it. They've already done it. Twice!
