Vintage, but still germane
I stumbled across this article while doing a google search this morning. It is a really good read. Check it out. My favorite part:
Whatever the reason it remains a fact that the French government is acting like anything but an ally to the United States and we need to ask ourselves, should we continue to count the French among our staunch allies? Should we continue granting them any type of foreign aid, whether it be monetary or figuratively? Should we continue to grant them most favorite nation status when it comes to trade? Or should we grant the French what they seem to be wanting; their complete and unsupported independent existence in the world theater? They are a socialist government whose views seldom reflect ours. They are constantly berating the United States about our culture, our opinion, our might, and now they are berating us about our right to retaliate against a rogue regime that has verified connections to those who slaughtered our citizens on September 11th.
Perhaps it is time to cut France loose. They seem to have found a partner in Germany, a nation that invaded them twice. Perhaps we should leave them to their own devices. This way, in about a year, we will only have to negotiate with Germany to get France's cooperation, that is after Germany takes it over again. Just take a look it has already started!
