A new Old Europe?

Democracy for the Middle East hasn't been in a particularly Anglophilic mood lately. No doubt this hasn't helped any. But DFME did a double-take yesterday with The Times of London's harsh reaction to a recent terrorist attack on Israelis.

Meanwhile, across the Channel, Last of the Famous reports that French TV anchor David Pujadas launched an unprecedented, blistering attack on France's response to the tsunami disaster - while presenting the American efforts in a very favorable light. (Hat tip: LGF and Discarded Lies.)

Well, these may be steps in the right direction. But as Roger L. Simon discovers, we've still got quite a ways to go.
