There is a new power in the Universe

It seems that our current administration has surrendered the US place as a leader in the world. A world power for centuries and since World War II sitting on the sidelines and complaining about US hegemony, France is again flexing its muscles as a world power. With its push to establish the no-fly zone over Libya, direct military intervention in the Ivory Coast, and now banning of face coverings for people in public (directed at the Islamic subjugation of women). I have said some nasty things about the French in recent years and yes meant all of them but as of right now good on them. I wish our current leadership would take some lessons.
