I just emailed the French Embassy in Washington, and you may reach them at this webpage: http://www.info-france-usa.org/contactus.asp
I had to blow off steam at the annoying little foreigners. You may wish to as well. (Please be polite, no cursing or crude language.) I sent them the following, both in proper English and their own barbaric tongue, so that they would have no problem understanding it. You can translate your email for free at

I shan't use their vulgar grunting here, so here is the English version
Dear Sirs:
In my country's short 225+ year history, we have saved the world twice. What have you done for it lately?
Okay, I will give you credit for French fries and oral sex. What else has France done for the planet? Well, there's the oil contracts with Iraq...no, wait. That only benefits France. Alright, there's all the contracts for bomb parts and military hardware...no, that helps only France!
So, as long as it benefits you, you will work for appeasement, to stop the world from deposing a man who has killed a million and a half people, 200,000 of them Muslim. "Let the inspections work," you cry...and all the while Saddam builds and burrows, with money and equipment from France. When we dig him out of his hole, the paperwork we unearth will show who was dealing with him. What price did you get for your souls?
I take it back, you did give us one thing, years ago...a beautiful woman called Lady Liberty. This American "cowboy" says you have failed her. The grinding, screeching sound you hear is that bold lady, once yours, now ours, turning her face in shame from her homeland.
We are going in. We will stop him, and it will be America's money that does it, and America's soldiers that bleed and die. We don't need the help of your little Socialist country. Your veto vote is useless, and that's what really bothers you, isn't it?
So get out of the way, and quit whining. Keep your wine and cheese. One little word of encouragement: The next time your buddy Germany rolls into Paris, you're on your own.
50's Dad, le Cowboy Américain
Hey could you do me a favor and email me with the official application to Join FR while your at it. I guess I didn't get the memo where JimRob appointed you as the official Free Republic Welcoming chairperson. Did he also give you authority to accept and deny people based on the answers they gave on this application that you will be emailing me shortly??? <-----by the way that was sarcasm too.
"right to vent" = First Amendment freedom of speech
Hope that worked...I typed s-l-o-w.
Ask John Adams what he thought of the French.
