(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)
What we did was (A) refused to renounce Christianity (and Judaism) and (B) refused to admit that our social, economic, and foreign policies should be subject to review by high-level French and German bureaucrats. That is basically the bottom line of what is going on.

We did nothing to deserve this sort of treatment. As is always the rule of individual responsibility, they chose to act as they do. It is they who determine their response, not us. I, too, desire strongly to bring our war dead home from their sorry, ungrateful shores...
Best regards,
