Ok. So it's a matter of balancing the lives sacrificed on each side, then? And once a suitable number of French have died as "payment" for past services rendered, are they then absolved from all future cooperation?
Absurd. And worse, these histrionics discredit our altogether reasonable and rational basis for expecting French support in the war on terror.
Umm, you're the one who brought up Frenchmen dying for us. Is it not reasonable to remind people that we Americans have sacrificed many
thousands of our young men to protect the French?
By the way, I don't care if the French support us in our upcoming war with Iraq. Considering their combat record, why should we?
