For those historically inclined I would remind that France came to our aide after 9/11 years faster than we came to their aide in either WWI or WWII. And in both those wars France was attacked much more catastrophically than we were.

Well you have a point, technically. But how signicant was the French aide after 9/11? A few AWACs operators? A frigate to the Persian Gulf? You get my drift? There 'help' wouldn't have been missed.

There [sic] 'help' wouldn't have been missed.

Except by folks here who make a career out of whining that their help is never enough.

After the USAF and the US Navy, the French navy dropped the most tonnage on A-stan in 2001.
