Absolutely true and to the point! No amount of our jingoistic nattering is going to make a whit of difference to the French or anybody else.
In fact it just reinforces what they think of us. So why piss and moan about it. They're ungrateful. So, what are we going to do - wallow in it?
Hell with them. And hell with us if we keep whining about it.
I don't think anyone is whining about it. I think it's important to keep track of who are your friends and who are your enemies, and more and more evidence is coming to light that France is NOT our friend.
