The sorrow and the pity. Bret Stephens is pissed.
We are talking about a country that insists on its "exception," which is only true in the sense that it actually conforms to every caricature about it: vain, cowardly, conniving, intellectually superficial, self-deceiving, politically and socially corrupt, with low moral standards (except when it comes to standing in judgment over the rest of the world), fundamentally anti-American and pervasively anti-Semitic.

But I understate.
Tell us how you really feel, Bret.

But he goes into remorseless detail about how France has persistantly and boneheadedly screwed itself up, so read the whole thing.

UPDATE: Dissident Frogman reports that about 50 victims of the heat wave have been purposefully left in the morgue by their relatives, who don't want to pay funeral costs.

UPDATE: And no one bashes the French like Sylvain Galineau, who knows whereof he speaks. Fun comments too.
