I do want France out of NATO - we need allies who stand with us and for whom we should stand in times of trouble. The French, for once, must be isolated to suffer the consequences of their own appeasement moves with the enemies of the western world.

Okay, I'll take the UN and up you the French!

At one time in history the French were very steadfast allies because of their "gratitude" for the saving of their culture.

Also during the cold war, their location made it imperative that the west maintain a good relation with France.

Now with world changes as we have seen both have made France unappreciative and at the same time their location a strategic void.

All that is left is a political bond and I trust I don't have to deepen the subject any further to make MY point as to why we must take France at face value, ease away from their influence in the world and recreate our defensive allies.

However, my point is "the easing away" from it and not doing a slam dunk!

Slam dunks don't go over well politically.
