"France says Americans waging economic war on Europe"

"Come to France"... "We love Americans".... No thanks, not for all the wine in Paris.
President Bush landed and slept over the border in Switzerland and refused to meet one-on-one with Chirac.
Bravo, Mr. President, not one penny to France.
"All our eggs are in the American basket and now Bush and Chirac have made an omelet out of them," said a French canal pilot.
Sorry "Mr. French canal pilot", President Bush is NOT to blame. Chirac took the eggs of French/American relations, threw them on the floor and gleefully danced over them with size 15 galoshes. Then he had the gaul (pardon the pun) to say... "How dare American break the eggs or think the eggs are broken." "The eggs are not broken"... "Eggs, what eggs?" Instead of facing reality Mr. Chirac says:
"America, we love you, come to France, buy our stuff, spend your money and stay in France". Ok, moving on to other points:
"Our bookings are down 70 percent this season,"... That is great news, it means our boycot of everything French is working.
"However, there are bargains galore in France as hoteliers and tour brokers try to salvage expenses."...
That is ok, you can keep your "bargains." We now know who are TRUE friends are in the war on terror and will maintain our freedom and the freedom of the world. We will spend our money, visit and purchase the bargains found in England, Spain, Italy, Australia, etc...
"--is officially encouraging the unthinkable toward visitors. It's urging the French to say "BONJOUR!" with a smile."
Another reason why we will no longer visit France but will instead go to England, Spain, Italy, Australia, etc... from now on. Their people do not have to be INSTRUCTED to greet or smile to Americans. With them it is not forced, it comes NATURALLY.
As for France, your so "old Europe," but look at the bright side; your being invaded by lots and lots of Muslim fascists. They don't spend much money and they want to overthrow your government, kill or enslave your people to Islam, but you will both feel right at home since your on the same side.
