you freaking idiot. read some gawdamm history. without the french, you'd be interrupting your sooo very important life every day at 4 o'clock for tea and calling everybody g'vnor.
hello?!?! yorktown !!! cornwallis. french navy. hello???
look at the records, mon ami. more frenchmen died in that decisive battle of the american war for independence than americans.
And thanks to Jacques Chirac the French have written another page in their gleaming history... one of bribery, scandal and selling weapons to a unscrupulous dictator. This page was written in American blood too. Yet AS I SAID not a finger lifted to help correct their folly but self righteousness. It was also America who opened her doors to all people. The French had a stake in helping America so they could take out the Britts that had devastated Napoleons navy in Egypt and Napoleons debacle in Mexico where they slaughtered the Spaniards and Indians there.. remember? I have read my history books too. The French are pompous opportunists. Now, two countries are on the road to liberation, Iraq and Afghanistan... and Libya has given up their WMD and where is France but standing with their head in the sand... Pakistan is a strong ally routing out extremists and where is France? Nowhere to be found. Spain would not have left the freedom coalition had France been a stronger ally.
HERE IS A PAGE IN FRENCH HISTORY...

oh yeah, a big report from townhall.com fair and balanced. right.
the freedom coalition??? get real. the sanctions, resolutions and finally the war were sold as the intent to disarm saddam, NOT to dump democracy on iraq.
i find it really amusing that little armchair hawks like you spend so much energy hating the french, the germans, the russians, etc.
you shriek all about them, but you don't seem to spend much time coming up with any real vitriol for the gawdamm people that did attack us.
you know, that osama guy and his merry men.
and by the way, afghanistan? considering that 15 minutes after the polls closed, karzai's opponents declared voter fraud and are going to fight it.
i'll be amazed if there isn't a civil war. but if so, the u.s. will jump right in and protect karzai. he still has a lot of friends in the c.i.a. and more importantly, unocal.
