leave it to the frogs...
Sigh. So as you probably know I did a joint master's degree program which involved studying in France and many wonderful French classmates. I loved my time in France and I love my French friends and their families and all the wonderful French people I met. I found that the stereotype of snobby French people was ridiculous and that French people who can speak English LOVE to practice their English. Which is why I find it particularly distressing that this is coming from French minister in charge of humanitarian relief in Haiti: I mean really? Really??? Do you, French dude, really want to go there? With Haiti of all places? This tragedy has once again become a shining example of American compassion and exceptionalism. Once again America is the biggest presence, donating the most money, volunteers, medicine, food, water...pretty much everything. And that asshat as the gall to accuse us of wanting to "occupy" Haiti? Funny, the Haitian people don't seem to mind our presence there. In fact, they seem to be quite welcoming of the US soldiers and marines who are there, maybe because unlike this douchebag they are smart enough to know that the Americans are there to help. Ugh. In case you can't tell, I'm pissed. Labels: douchebags, France, Haiti earthquake, Support the troops
