This tiff with France will blow over - do you really want to disturb them? Do we know it was French people who did this?
There is no excuse for the defacing the cemetary, but there is also no excuse for the congresswoman to use our dead heroes as a vehicle to get her name in the paper and further her political career. This kind of behavior on her part is the reason I have absolutely no respect for most politicians. They will do anything, say anything, and use any tragedy to further their own career.
Be upset with the vandals, but be upset with our own lawmaker who should be honoring these heroes - not using them to boost her tiny career.

I don't think you get it. France's leaders have gone way out of their way to create and further stoke the atmosphere in which anti-American outrages are now commonplace in the streets and now even the countryside of France. They shall reap what they sow. Their cynical playing to the Arab gallery will backfire even more forcefully than the heavy price in lost trans-Atlantic trade.

This is more than a spat. This is a real loss of what was a trusted ally. We will continue the paper alliance, but for how long? Moreover, the demographic map of France's future suggests their current posture is only a taste of what must inevitably come.....

France is lost. France is f*^ked.
