Understood. My response was purposeful overstatement, meant to say: How'd those who villified the U.S. about Iraq like it if we just pulled out, sat back and watched them handle a jihad against THEM on their own?
France will have to do some serious apologizing, internationally, in writing, before I'm willing to send one soldier to help their froggy rears. They'll have to come totally clean about their activities in Iraq before the war, too. As would Germany.
My sentiments exactly.
