Germany and France have given weapons to Americas enemies.

So some may disagree with your assessment.

Oh yeah. I'm sure the kind of people who go out just looking for enemies will find them where ever they turn. An enemy is someone you go to war with. Are you saying you think we should go to war with Germany and France? The President just go through saying Schroeder and himself have put their differences behind them. I guess Dubya is just stupid huh? There was a difference between the politicians and you want to label all the people in Germany and France your enemies? That's just silly and childish.

Many here aren't looking for allies in the world any longer. They'll call anybody that doesn't play the role of "yes-man" to the US an enemy and that's just absurd. There's much room for disagreeing between allies.

If France is our enemy, what the hell is Laura Bush doing here?

Germany and France have given weapons to Americas enemies.

Could you cite some examples here please? I'd like to know specifically what you're talking about.

I've lived, worked and played with Germans for the past 3 years: The average German "Hans on the Strasse" is quite sympathetic to the US, but may not agree with our govt. tactics. In my short visits to France, "Jacques in the cafe" is not a fan of Islamic facism, either.

The German police are some of the best law enforcers in the world, and are quite adept at controlling their civil affairs. (they are less hampered than US law enforcers, though)

We supplied weapons, cash and logistic support to both Saddam and assorted Islamic terrorist groups (when we found them useful fighting Russians) in the not too distant past. Using your logic....

Bottom line: the Germans and French, while not loving our foreign policy, still offer flowers at US military post gates on 9/11 anniverseries and the Bundeswehr still guard our posts to free up troops for duty in war zones.
