An idea for a follow-up piece, she's a very close friend of Castro's.<BR/>By the way, it's a bit quick - or biaised or both - to label him 'nazi collaborator' - the truth is/was far from that straight-forward, as exposed by historians such as Paxton,and much more symbolic of the misjudgements made by so many members of the IIIrd Republic elite made brainless by the defeat and keen to put France's fate in the then senile victor of Verdun's hands (God knows that if it was not for Churchill, Britain would have had its fair share of 'nazi collaborators', wouldn't it).<BR/>Anyway, I had not read so much hatred about Mitterrand, and put in such a way, for at least 14 years - that's refreshing if nothing else and I shall go to bed feeling younger.<BR/>Finding myself defending the memories of 'Miteux' feels somehow awkward - surely, it's just out of Gallic pride... lolFranck Guilloryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06490226298321865637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33696095.post-31053218560038638202008-01-20T23:27:00.000+00:002008-01-20T23:27:00.000+00:00He is everything the public hate about a politicia...He is everything the public hate about a politician.
