Will you be sending back the Statue of Liberty? With friends like ... You don't need ...... Let's see. The French wanted to get rid of Lafayette so they sent him to us. Thank goodness. He was an asset. Possibly the last French asset. Yes, they arrived to blockade at Yorktown. We had already won. WW I? no comment WWII? What was that French town they renamed their government after. The brave Brits fought tooth and nail against some of the most horrific weapons Hitler could mount. The French? Well, lets see, they "came to terms" with the occupying Germans. But lets NOT forget all that past help. Also remember that NY sewer known as the UN. A third world sewer populated, mostly, by rejects from the world's diplomatic corp. Yes, we Americans have friends in this world. But, the French never were or never really will be any of them. Blame it on envy; dislike of America's culture or plain anything. Never liked them before; don't like them now. G-D bless the English speaking nations of the world. When you judge America ask yourself one question: Where would the world be without a United States of America? Burt NYC USA
