Help for Dafur at last?

Does the words "too little too late have any meaning? But I digress. The African Union, with help from the EU, had already put over 2,000 peacekeepers into the troubled Sudanese province. However, they had logistical problems, including a lack of airlift capacity. NATO had offered to help. But the French opposed that idea.

What is it with the French? Can that government just for once acknowledge that some things in life are not about France?

From the BBC, of course.
