French Retreat

Fire of Liberty

This just proves my point that when you reveal a weakness in your armor to militant groups like France's labor unions they'll go for the jugular and won't back down until they kill are render harmless the things that they dislike. Well today it seems the protestors are getting their way due to the simple fact that President Chirac and Interior Minister Sarkozy are splitting away from Villepin in supporting a more watered down version of the CPE.(And folks think Villepin was standing firm because of his political future.)I guess President Truman's old adage: "If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog" is also true in Paris as well. Its too bad that the labor unions have such sway in France and are willing to keep the economy locked in the dumps but then again we're talking about France.
