<<The time for the French and Germans to cooperate with the US has passed. We did the heavy lifting in Iraq and Afghanistan, with not inconsiderable ill will shown to us for our efforts. Why pull ingrates' chestnuts out of the fire?>>> The French seem to prefer living on hope the terrorists will not hit their homeland , while letting the US and allies do the dirty hard work of cutting down their numbers. Indications are that the job will not be complete for a long time and that more acts will occur. When major attacks occur in Europe, the French will come begging and paying for the best they can find,US developed surveillance products and perhaps even missile defense hardware. It will not be as cheap, or even free, as it could have been in dealing with friendlier nations. Sig
