If they're to be called Freedom Fries, does that make France the land of Freedom? Also, would that make this website FrenchRepublic?

I understand that they celebrate the victory every year. A national holiday.

LOL I believe that's correct, BTW Chirac is dropping fast, nationwide strikes are just starting up over their DISASTEROUS economy, and the OUTRAGEOUS social programs that he must cut, that are running them into the ground, SIMPLY DELICIOUS!

When people get backstabbed, they tend to remember things like that. And the frogs don't like it.

Bush isn't landing on the French aircraft carrier anytime soon, assuming it floats.

The dopey French engineers designed the Charles deGaulle (carrier) with a flight deck 35 meters too SHORT, and when on its maiden voyage last year, it dropped one of its four props! The whole French country is populated by the "Inspector Clouseau" mentality.

Stratfor had a thorough pay per view article on the history of France and why France does the stuff it does. The US GI was killing French soldiers in the 40's in Africa I believe.

France isn't a victim of a smear campaign....they're a victim of flat-out sucking sh!t.

Frogs, heal thyself.

I do it, too. Just watch out for the psychos around here that will tear your posts to shreds if there is one typo or grammar mistake. There are a lot of perfect people around FR.

Yep, this is another example of the "whining" aspect of our relationship. The American and French peoples have long had a love-hate relationship and I think things begin to feel awkward when we go too long without "bitchin' and moanin'" about one another.

But, the reality remains that we are each among the least of the other's problems in this world. We face some important common problems and I think that, as time goes on, the correct conclusions will be drawn by France.

What are her real choices?
