Xenophobia as an aid to foreign relations?
Posted By matt on August 26, 2004
So, we're watching Mars Attacks, and the scene comes up where the president of the US gets a call from the president of France, and they're all buddy-buddy and on a first name basis.
Liz says “Somehow, I don't think Chirac calls up Dubya like that”.
This of course prompted me to respond: “Actually, if Le Pen had been elected, it probably would have ushered in a new era of US/French relations. They's probably have heart to hearts on the best way to kill Arabs and deport immigrants.”
Of course, Le Pen basically seems to hate everyone who isn't French, so he'd probably hate us just as much too.
