As Dominique Moisi of the French Institute of Foreign Affairs put it the next day:
"No one likes armed liberators, especially if they come from a different continent with a different culture and a different religion".
So who waws Moisi quoting? Don't know either, but I'll pick the French guy.
Thank you for the fantastic article. The place else could anyone get that kind of info in such a perfect means of writing? I have a presentation next week, and I am at the search for such information.
