The French are all up in arms over how the European Union has condemned them for their tactics in dealing with their Gypsy (Roma) population.
In fact, the level of their arrogance is simply astonishing.
And they accused the U.S. of arrogance in world affairs??! They have NO leg to stand on, whatsoever. A sampling of their arrogance:
"It is an insult. It is a wound. It is a humiliation,"…."I am the French president and I cannot allow my country to be insulted." President Sarkozy of France

… "it's very easy to give lessons". "France doesn't pretend to give lessons to the world, even if we're often seen as the country of human rights ... We also don't pretend to listen to lessons from countries that don't make a tenth of the efforts that we've accomplished," Francois Zimeray, France's ambassador for human rights. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/un-tells-france-to-stop-forced-expulsion-of-roma-2064038.html
"That's enough of her tone, my patience has its limits, that's not the way to speak to a great state," Pierre Lellouche, French Mininster http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/n.php?n=france-eu-criticism-of-roma-policy-unseemly-2010-09-15
The French government can buy it’s own BS if it wants, but they should have kept it to themselves if they intended to accuse other countries of arrogance.
HYPOCRITES!
