The Father of MY COUNTRY George Washington said avoid entangling alliances and trade and commerce with all. Since some dual citizens have come on the scene that wisdom has been perverted by the likes of you. Go home and fight for your own hatefilled country.

Don't worry, my dear French fairies. We won't be too belligerent (if you don't call tearing off their heads and sh*tting down their necks "belligerent.")

Point well taken. Arabic and Muslim are not synonyms, especially in ancient times before Islam even existed. Perhaps the statement should be rephrased "name a single Islamic contribution to science, literature, etc." Thanks for pointing this out to me.

p.s., I know that complex mathematical calculations can be done with Roman numerals, but my recollection is that it is MUCH more complicated than with Arabic numerals.

There are two sides in the world: the civilized world, and the uncivilized world.

We're the civilized world.

Choose wisely, France.

I know this will depress you, because you ally so closely with Palestine and with the Jihad they wage against us, but 10 police officers were found alive in the rubble. That means you and your Islamic extremists will need to strap on more explosives to get the job you want done, done!

. It is all paper money and will be worthless when our economy comes to a screetching halt without oil

You underestimate the US and Americans. We may face some economic sacrifice, but we most certainly can survive and prosecute an effective war.

Some have stated that we are all New Yorkers now. Perhaps. But I believe that by enduring this vicious terrorist attack, we are also Israelis. It is time to fight back, and to destroy the terrorist enemy utterly.

Just like the French to go wet! Our coming to their rescue in 1917 was payback Lafayette, we are here!. That made us quits. The froggies owe us for World War II and they serve us this SH*T? Unleash Chaing Kai Shek on them or something. They're afraid of the arabs in their midst? After their cowardly retreat in Algeria, they should be! It's time to leave Europe to the Europeans.

You forget, sir, Who fights for Israel. She will be here long after all the Arabs...and US are long gone.
And THAT'S what gives us the upper hand.
God is not on OUR side, we are on HIS.

whatever happens, we have got the hydrogen bomb; and they have not.

I have some bad news .... the French have nukes.

Of course if we fart in their general direction they will fall all over themselves trying to surrender.

France and Germany can piss off .... we've kicked you a$$es before .... get in our way and we will do it again.

Alain Richard, his defence minister, said the attacks were "not acts of war".

Ya like he'd know one if it bit him on the ass.

aye, the brits may be a bit too socialistic for my tastes now but when push comes to shove, they stand beside us.

That loud slamming sound heard after the French government began its equivocation about support to American was the sound of the hideaway door slamming shut after its (the French) gonads were retracted into their secret hiding place.
