France Reaps What it has Sewn

According to the Washington Times, resentment of France is growing in the former Soviet bloc nations of Central and Eastern Europe.

Why? Because they remember.

[Jan Eichler of the Institute of International Relations] in Prague, said: "The French rejection of the constitution has revived Francophobia whose historic and sociological roots have existed for a number of years. The heritage of Gaullism and of most French decisions of that period are often presented as treason, particularly the French withdrawal from NATO's military structure."

In other words, the French are every bit as trustworthy now as they were during the years of Cold War oppression.
