France and Turkey

So typically French!
French MPs are pushing a bill which would criminalise the denying of an alleged/disputed genocide of Armenians in 1915/16.

Ask yourself this.

If you were a French MP, what would be your top priority as you head into 2012?
Tackling the Euro Crisis?
Addressing the structural deficit in the French economy?
Wondering how to reduce French bank sovereign debt exposure 
Attacking the British?
Continuing to alienate a faithful ally like Turkey?

Okay, since you are pretending to be French, you can have two priorities.

If you are doing it right, neither of your priorities relate to the Euro crisis or the French economy.

If you didn't get it right, then in time-honoured EU tradition, you can have another vote and keep on doing so, until you get it right.  Bien

Fiddling while Rome burns comes to mind.
