After France's refusal to go in Iraq in 2003, the expression "cheese eating surrender monkey" was used when speaking about the French. The expression comes from "The Simpsons". "cheese eating" is based on the fact that the French eat a lot of cheese. "surrender monkeys" comes from the French surrender in WW2. As you probably know, the French surrendered in WW2 after only 6 weeks of fierce battle. The Americans who want to insult the French say the French always surrendered in every battle, which is totally wrong. That way it explained why the French didnt want to go in Iraq, it's because they are supposed to be "cowards" or "cheese eating surrender monkeys".

In fact, France was used as a scapegoat....

What is unconditional Surrender?

Unconditional surrender is absolute trust. It starts with acceptance of whatever happens in our life. That is the first surrender, surrender to the law of Karma, whatever unfolds is the reaction of our own past actions. We surrender to that without any question, trusting the law. Then comes surrender to what will be, when we hand over our life, our future, unconditionally. That is Divine unconditional surrender. We live without fear, or worry like a feather that surrenders to the air, like a leaf tossed on a river. So we must surrender.
