the French took the lead and the United States followed, which gave rise the phrase "leading from behind" -- an indictable offense, if you ask me. It is odd for America to follow the French anywhere militarily. Only Obama could be proud of doing it. Clearly with the French reluctance to get involved in anything militarily it must have appeared to be a slam dunk to them. Perhaps when Obama saw French flags flying with no sign of white flags he got inspired and courageous. The whole lead from behind summons images of Larry Niven's Puppeteers, who are lead by the Hindmost. BTW - Welcome.
