   Is this the end for Miquelon.org ? Probably not since objects in mirror are closer than they appear, but at the same time, so many other issues are now crowing the political world.

   I’m not so sure about your reduced level. Maybe it’s a geographical issue, but, I sense that bashing is alive and well in the US South and Southwest (red States).

   Fred, the level is really a reflection of the news / media / pop culture level of French Bashing. Sorry to hear about the level in the Red States, that will probably take forever …

   Marc — Miquelon’s mission is by no means finished; the war is over, the reconstruction begins — and that’s the hardest part! Now we need a less belligerent, but more proselitist attitude, don’t you think?

   You may want to take a look at this one:
   http://www.slate.com/id/2211640/

   The author is a well know columnist for Le Monde and now Slate.fr.
   Note the French title is pretty different from the translation’s (the article itself doesn’t matter). I left a few remarks in their forum,  actually quoting you, I hope you don’t mind…

   Thanks you so much Gwynfrid for doing that, I was alerted by Moktarama about the rather insulting translation that was provided to Slate.com.

   Both URLS :

   • L’article sur Slate.fr : L’Europe défaille dans la crise
   • L’article sur Slate.com : Europe to America: We Surrender!

    Webb site “From the Martian Desk” was a very refreshing writeup. I’d love to e-mail this around, but I haven’t a clue of how to send it. I just keep telling people to lookup “Miquelon”.
