    are politely asking to be allowed

    French President Nicolas Sarkozy has announced his country is to return to Nato's military command, reversing four decades of self-imposed exile.

        Maybe they're hoping the Yanks will give them a bailout in return, or it's some deal along those lines.

          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.

            I've heard part of the agreement is that all NATO signed up countries have got to speak French in 5 years as their main language.

                    A sad day for La France.

                    Their absence from NATO provided a counter-balance from the European perspective.
