I must admit I was very surprised by the French outburst but totally agree with it. What surprises me is that the French and their hangers on always disagree venimently about going into action to avoid a larger problem in the future, if nothing is done. Self interest comes to mind.
Let's face it, the French played host to the Ayatollah, that led to the down fall of the Shar.
If things do go pear shaped I don't think you lot in the sand pit will get much notice to get the hell out.
