French President Chirac Announces He Will Not Run For Re-Election: The Sooner This Man Leaves, the Better

French President Chirac announced that he won't be running for re-election.

GOOD RIDDANCE!

It takes two to make an argument, and he did more than his fair share of damage to U.S.-French relations during his tenure.

To disagree about ideas in the international community is a hallmark of U.S.-French relations, but Chirac's haughtiness and ill-tempered approach to dealing with President Bush made him a hypocrite (another one).

To hear him talk about U.S. arrogance was ridiculous, considering his own attitude.

Hopefully the next French President won't have the same corruption baggage and impulse control problems that Chirac had in dealing with people.

Bye bye, President Chirac.
