Maybe is wasn't oil and greed the French held so dear, Maybe it was Saddam after all! Maybe we should put them on the Axis of Evil where they belong.

If they go to France, there will be no justice.

France is part of the problem although that is something, which our government would never publicly admit.

Since before the war began the French national media (state sponsored and partially owned) has been attacking US policy and creating a "hostile" environment. They create sympathy for the jihadist. Arte, TV5 and many others have been constantly conducting Psychological Operations (offensive IO) with the "intent" to discredit US policy towards Iraq. The condemning aspect for the French government is that much of the French media is state run, as in Germany and many parts of Europe. If these media outlets conduct this type of activity then it's because their "national policy" is to have this message or agenda.

Old joke changed slightly.

The French are a funny race.
They fight with their feet. (run)
And (whine) with their face.

Then we'd retaliate by renaming "West Lafayette Indiana" to "West Freedom Fry Indiana."

Just call it what it is. Purdue, fire the mayor, fire the city council, assimilate WLPD into PUPD. It'll be a party.

"And you believe there is a difference?"

Yes I do. I have some French friends and they're not all bad. There's a a lot to like about some aspects of French culture and life. Not all of course, and plenty not to like also, but they are part of Western civilization as opposed to militant Islamofascism which I don't care for at all.

There are plenty of militant Islamofascists in France with French citizenship who are most likely the ones caught in Iraq etc. I don't consider them real Frenchmen. There are also French men and women who are not leftist cowards. Some even like America, liberty and believe in the superiority of Western civilization and culture.

Of course some French people are also jerks like some of our own leftist, treasonous, perfidious citizens.

In addition, there are things about American culture that are also less than perfection. Plenty of our culture is pretty trashy and low brow (not that I don't like some low brow trash myself sometimes).

But yes (or oui) I am pretty damn disappointed in the French lately. Merde!
