The French are still the French
Daniel Drezner notes a very interesting fact in the French no vote. 40% of the voters thought the Constitution was too liberal (i.e. free market.)
If the French want to continue down their mildly socialist path that is their business. The French have always seemed to desire an easier life than Americans, and there is a case to be made for that. Although, it does have it's consequences. You can choose order over chaos, but it will cost you innovation.
And please, no complaining about globalization, hyperpowers, etc.
