Ted, However, what he says was a very apt description of the US. And this issue re freedom fries is a big joke! The "Freedom Fries" bit is harmless fun to most of us. No one is calling anyone a traitor for still referring to those tasty but fatty side dishes as "French Fries." Or referring to a certain breakfast food as "French Toast." Or enjoying a French Kiss every now and then. Or even using borrowed French words like "cafe latte" or "rendezvous" or "chateau." It was not harmless fun. Everything was done to denigrate the French culture because they would not go along with us in Iraq. Sales of French products in the US dropped off dramatically. The same ill will that was behind the burning of the DChicks CDs was behind the trashing of all things French. Its nice to see how open minded the home of the brave are. A little criticism and we're ready to kill! Depp, like most nationalistic Frenchmen, is taking it personally. If America is as dumb as he thinks it is, perhaps he'd like to share some of his "wisdom" on how to win the war on terrorism from his sheltered French paradise (i.e. free from bombs and suicidal planes). If you think living in France is being sheltered from all things violent, then there is not much point to discussing this issue further with you. ted
