God *help* the French administration that tries to fuck with what the French consider "basic rights."  The last time an adminis- tration tried (in 1999), the French staged a nationwide general strike.  Nothing moved in France -- no trains, no planes, no taxis, no Metros, no trucks, nothing.  There were no services like garbage collection; only the hospitals and emergency services were excepted from the strike. The result?  The French government caved in and abandoned its plans to change the disputed policies in less than two weeks. I think this proves the French can argue well among themselves, but could the French stand up to and defend themselves against an external enemy?
