The real French street

The real French street
: As the news from Iraq gets better — as U.S. troops gain stronger control, that is — I note from the radio this morning that the French stock market keeps going up in response. If the French truly believed what their leaders say they believe — if they were rooting for us to win — then the opposite should be true: U.S. victory should cause a decline. But money always speaks the truth. Even the French know that a U.S. victory is good for the world.
