Deutsche Übersetzung

In Paris wurde AIDS als amerikanische Phobie abgetan, bis die Franzosen starben; dann sagten alle: "Nun, du musst auf die eine oder andere Weise sterben." Wenn die Amerikaner hysterisch und pragmatisch waren, waren die Franzosen fatalistisch: depressiv, aber entschlossen, die Partei am Laufen zu halten.

Those are serious questions of war and peace, of freedom or tyranny, whether or not there is ever going to be a hope of us instilling some democratic systems in a part of the world that frankly is breeding hate and destruction directed right at us.
