France starts military intervention against islamists in Mali.

RE: France starts military intervention against islamists in Mali.
France has a history of militarily intervening in it`s former colonies.

It did so in the last ten years in Ivory Coast, Congo and Mali.
And also had a big troop contingent stationed in Afghanistan.

Thing is, hardly anyone notices.

France (contary to sterotypical belief) has a very strong army, air force and navy and is not affraid to engage in military intervention.
And I am happy that at least one European country has the guts to engage in a more aggressive foreign policie when confronted with assholes.
The rest of Europe unfortunatly seems to prefer pussy politics and peace negotiations with monsers like Hamas.
