One of the bloggers in “Homespun” is Arthur Chrenkoff. “Blogger” seems too small a word to describe what he does. This long post is well worth reading. He keeps us up to date not only on Iraq, but the doings in Europe, as well. Some of it will make you laugh, some will make you want to cry.

“Citing bad service and high prices, French residents are choosing other Mediterranean sites, such as Portugal, Spain, Italy, and Croatia for their holidays. ‘This year I’m going to Barcelona because at least people there smile and are welcoming,’ a senior Peugeot executive said.” Something must be going right in the world when even the French don’t like the French.

That and much more.

Why is it that if the Europeans all disagree with us, we must be wrong? Isn’t it far more likely that we are right?
