Why stop there? Since the French are such ingrates, lets pack up other historical items and send them back to where they came from:
Statue of Liberty in Paris 1886 w/ Bartholdi in Foreground
Let's wait until this thing is over before we do anything foolish. The Congresswoman's Bill seems to me to be a bit over dramatic.

I have posted this before... exhuming those soldiers' remains and returning them to American soil is not just something we should contemplate because of France's outrageous behavoir at the U.N., there are other compelling reasons. Remember that those are Christian and Jewish graves in a land that is doing nothing to stem the rising tide of Islam. Those graves will eventually be desecrated; history has too many examples of this behavior to ignore.
Maybe we should put the question to our surviving WWII veterans. There's a big WWII Memorial planned for Washington, D.C. - but perhaps the veterans would prefer a different sort of memorial.
Overly dramatic? Perhaps. But also a very powerful message.
Can you back that up in any way? From what I've heard the French media is gushing over him, comparing him to Charles DeGaulle, Charlemagne, and Nelson Mandela. And the polls show his popularity at about 90%. Remember he is the conservative leader in France, and the socialists are even more anti-American, if that's possible. So if you have any facts to support your wishful argument, let's hear them.
