France is a beautiful country occupied mostly by arrogant spineless cowards. We saved their sorry asses in two world wars and we were dumb enough to buy their bullshit when we followed them into Viet Nam. Chirac reminds me of DeGaulle. A pompous, strutting ass who pretends that he or france have any real relevance in the world.
One frog-o-phile posted that we had shattered a 200 year union overnight. What a load! That bastard DeGaulle ran off and hid in England till WWII was over. Then we screwed up and let the jackass strut into Paris as if he actually had anything to do with driving the Nazis out. And how did the zenophobic bastard thank us? By attempting to destroy NATO and telling us to get our troops the hell out of his country. Yeah, WE destroyed a 200 year union. You bet.
Someone else speculated on what the french would do if the Eiffel Tower had been destroyed. That's easy to answer - they would blame it on us. Other than that, they would do nothing.
Another franco-fan indicated that one reason france chose to oppose us in this effort against Iraq was because they had contracts and business ties with the Iraqis. BINGO! You were inadvertently honest. Many of these contracts were secret because they were in contravention of UN sanctions. The french were sucking cash out of Saddam faster than a black hole sucks in light. The mercencary scum resented the fact that we broke their favorite piggy bank.
France is not our friend, nor have they been so for decades. France is governed by deceitful, avaricious men. They have been caught with their hand in the cookie jar and they are trying to bluff and bluster their way out of the situation.
I hope that french grapes rot on the vine for the next hundred years. Let the bastards drink their own water.
