We also owe the French for pommes de terre frites I don't know about that. I'm not sure that was any favor, given how much fat and how many carcinogens are in those things. Maybe it was part of the French anti-American plot to foist those things off on us and kill us all off either of heart disease or cancer!

"Perhaps we should pay them back by acceding to their wishes on Iraq." We have already agreed to ship Alex Baldwin and Babs Striesand to them. That's more than enough. BTW, what is the hold up on that project?

We also owe the French for pommes de terre frites. That makes them one up on us in gratitude due. It does? That stuff kills you. Every nation is going to push its current interests. Gratitude is an emotion that lasts about 2 seconds. Then it is "What have you done for me lately?" The French and Germans deny that their interests in Iraq have anything to do with their positions, which is absurd. If what is going on their were instead happening in an area they had no interest in, they would be SCREAMING for action. Like, say, the Balkans, where they still expected the US to do the heavy lifting.
