Looks like my liberal slandering of France yesterday might already be coming back to bite me in the ass, as it is now taking the lead in shutting down negotiations with Iran and pushing for a Security Council referral.

“France, with the support of the United States, rejected Iran’s request for more negotiations on the Islamic republic’s nuclear program, with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice saying Wednesday “there’s not much to talk about” after Iran resumed atomic activities. …

Tehran’s defiant tone came as France, with U.S. backing, rejected Iran’s request for a resumption of negotiations, saying Tehran must first suspend its nuclear-related activities.”

France, with the support of the United States. Goddamn good thing I bring my nitroglycerin to work.

Is France finally going to start making strident diplomatic stands against a country other than the USA for a change? Remains to be seen, of course. I’d be happy to revisit my “Fuck the French” position if this becomes a trend.

Fuck Iran, though. Definetely fuck Iran.
