Of course, most of our Founding Fathers might have seen their lives end at the end of a British rope, and our revolution fail... were it not for the French fleet which bottled-up Cornwallis. Perhaps we are 'even'.

You don't have any problem with a country who refuses to help their former liberators? No. Friends do not always agree with friends. If your friend wanted to jump off a cliff would you join her or him? Friends and allies do not always do what friends request. You need to look up the definition of friends and allies. Just because a friend or ally doesn't agree with you, that's not reason to turn on them like they were pond scum....calling them names and boycotting their products. I have no love for the French from personal experience......they can be pains in the asses....but we have been allies for over 50 years and have helped each other during those 50 years.......and its not been just a one way street inspite of how many of you all want to think otherwise. Allies for fifty years stands for something. Letting a bunch of no good terrorists cause a rift between us is a disgrace. You should be ashamed! Their friendship floundered at a crucial time, but not so when they needed the USA's assistance...."In Flander's fields the poppies grow beneath the crosses row on row". With all due respect, fifty percent of the American population does not agree with this country's current foreign policies.......because they are controversial. Why would you expect the French or the Spaniards or the Germans or the Swedes or the Russians......to name a few.....to agree with us?
