I don’t get it: is it Nato doing this or France? If it’s France leading Nato, how did that happen? France left Nato in a huff because it didn’t want the U.S. giving orders to its troops in 1966. It only got back in 15 months ago, December 2009. After 33 years of standing aloof, how has it come to be the unquestioned leader? Does that somehow what they think of the American leadership?
