The French (1996)
I chose it because we've just been treated to a visit by Ségolène Royal, the French socialist presidential candidate. She came to us after visiting Beirut, where Lebanese MP Ali Ammar denounced US “insanity” and compared Israel to the Nazis.
In a 20-minute tirade Mr Ammar attacked “unlimited American insanity” for sending troops into Afghanistan and Iraq. He then said that Israeli “Nazism” was no better than Hitler’s Third Reich.
Ms Royal, who is on her first overseas trip since winning the Socialist Party primary, replied: “Thank you for being so frank. I agree with a lot of the things you have said, notably your analysis of the US.”-more
