Well, the government may well work on the relationship, but the American people will take a lot longer to forgive and they may well never forget.

The french have been anti-American for a long time and we always laughed about it, but now that they have endangered our lives, we don't think it's funny anymore. I know that I won't ever forget it.

Nor will I. I just shrugged it off as stupidity. But when they made it personal, that's when I had enough. It's now personal, France. You've received your last Euro from me.

They just don't get it, do they? American hate France not because they disagreed with us, but because of their behind the scenes machinations and back stabbing attempts to insure economic interests over our security.

The French proved they cannot be trusted nor are they any kind of friend or ally. They would sell their own mothers into slavery if they could make a buck off it. In a desperate attempt to hide their stagnating birth rates and shrinking markets, they imported hundreds of thousands of Middle Eastern immigrants who now extort what they want politically out of the French government over threats of violence and destruction.

I say cut 'em loose.

The government is not working on a relationship, that is just some poorly concealed (deliberately) veneer. The US government didn't send high level people to the Paris Airshow and discouraged US companies from attending as well.

We -- both the US government, with Bush in charge, and the American people -- have long memories and we remember who our friends and enemies are. Unlike the Clinton administration, who kicked our allies (Israel) in the shin, while appeasing and trying to pay off our enemies (Arafat, N. Korea, to name a few).

Exactly. When the chips were down, they not only didn't support us, but actively worked against us.
