While the rest of world turns to the DNC, I note that the French Head of State pulls a page from the American Playbook of Self Condemnation and turns it into a double reverse. Sarkozy condemns his own nation's conduct over the last 64 years in ignoring the massacre of French citizens by German troops in Maille in August 1944. The liberal elite of the United States might have chosen to explain how those murdered citizens really brought the catastrophe upon themselves by their mistreatment of the environment, their misguided opposition to Nazi Totalitarianism, and their evil and foolhardy defense of their homes and families. Sarkozy found the memorial of the atrocity an apt occassion for also remembering the French soldiers killed in a Taliban ambush in Afghanistan and to call for a stand against such barbarism and terrorism. -- I bet we don't anything like that from Michelle Obama or any of the other Defeatocrats at the conventions.

Here is the story on Sarkozy:
