OK, shoot me for being serious in the humor section.
France is a Great County. This is a fact.
HOWEVER
If France were half as great a country as the French believe it is, it would rule the world. This is not a joke. This is the basis of French Diplomacy. France has never gotten over losing its Empire to the British and it's primacy in Europe to the Germans, and it deals with it in the same way that America does its military and political blunders - it ignores them.

The French economy is so screwed up they don't even have a word for entrepreneur. Tourism was off so much last year that Parisians had to be rude to each other. Q: Why are the streets of Paris lined with trees? A: So the german Army can march in the shade.
