I didn't know they had gone either.
I just assumed that all EU members were automatically part of NATO.Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

A sad day for La France.
Their absence from NATO provided a counter-balance from the European perspective.Last edited by AlfredJPruffock; 12 March 2009, 09:24.Comment
