Dude, they saved ours. If it wasn’t for the French warships, G. Washington would have ended up being a bad footnote in OUR and the Queens history books.

Bernard Kouchner, the foreign minister of France and a longtime humanitarian, diplomatic and political activist on the international scene, says that whoever succeeds President George W. Bush may restore something of the United States' battered image and standing overseas, but that "the magic is over." Yawn. Who cares?

CNN International sure makes me sick. I have to agree with an earlier poster for sure.

I would tend to agree with you on securing our Southern Border first and foremost, and could see us doing a drawdown of some US troops overseas in areas they can live without us, and be repositioned to protect our own DOMESTIC SOIL.

What is the difference between not misstepping and dancing to their tune?

Not just troops but we seem to have our hands in everyones pies, which is fine but ignoring South America and Central America, our backyard, doesn’t make sense.

Thats the problem, we can't be everyones friend. If we do for Japan, China gets pissed. If we do for India, Pakistan gets pissed. If we do for GB France gets pissed.If we do for Israel everyone gets pissed.

He needs to talk to his own president about the United States. Besides, someone from a country that produced Marie Antoinette, Robespierre and the Red Terror, Napoleon, de Gaulle, Francois Mitterand, Vietnam and other started and abandoned colonies around the world shouldn't be talking about the loss of American "magic".

Tell me again Mr Kouchner, How are your exports to Africa?
How are your big export trading companie doing in West Africa? Still doing pretty well?
Well how are the French companies who sell their stuff to the exporters doing? Badly? Because they have lost their markets to Americans? The American stuff is better and cheaper too?
That’s a bitch ain’t it.

They’re just pissed off because America’s Euro-welfare is drying up. They’re the dirtbag son-in-law who’s upset that he can’t ride the gravy-train like he used to. Europe is your buddy as long as you’re buying.
There are certain people that I don’t want to like me. I hope these Euro-trash think that we’re total garbage from here on out and voice it strongly. Don’t sugarcoat anything, it’s better that we know where they stand. Have fun with Sharia law, ya POS.

When the islamics fully take over, 100B of their currency will be worth a dollar. Live it up. You’ll love it when they install Sharia law and start blowing up the museums and architecture. Foot-high garbage in the streets is their forte.

For our enemies and detractors, the magic was never ‘there’ in the first place.
