Foreign Office / A story of words

July the 24th:
Gage: "...French are arrogant...but you're not."
Julien: "We're not arrogant. We know better." (joke)


August the 27th, speech to the ambassadors:
President N. Sarkozy: "...a catastrophic alternative: the iranian [nuclear] bomb or the bombardment of Iran."

September the 16th, radio interview:
Foreign minister B. Kouchner: "It is necessary to get ready for the worst:...it is war."

I don't know wether or not we're arrogant. For sure, we're getting stupid.
