Non! Non! Non!

So the French are trying to take back history.

I guess they got tired of being the cul of too many jokes about surrender monkeys, and they said "Sacrebleu! We muss rrrregain some of how-er prrride! Prrride ees French nassi-onal speciality, n'est-ce pas?"

And what better way to do this than single-handedly bringing to a screeching, towering halt a fifty-year multinational process, of a degree of cooperation heretofore unseen by this terrestrial sphere?

But leave it to the modern French to leave their mark by negative action rather than true, honest-to-goodness progress.
