The French are our enemies

While the French were saved by the U.S. twice -- once in WW I and again in WW II -- the French president informed President Bush that Europe is none of his business. It is also true that the U.S. recreated Europe with the Marshall Plan. Despite these facts, the French are telling President Bush that Europe is none of the U.S.’s business.

Somehow, the U.S. protecting and saving Europe from communism and the creation of NATO (that France is not an official part of) doesn’t mean anything.

The flap comes over the admission of Turkey to the E.U. -- European Union.

"If President Bush really said that the way I read it, well, not only did he go too far but he went into a domain which is not his own," French President Jacques Chirac told reporters at the NATO summit.

"It is like me trying to tell the United States how it should manage its relations with Mexico," he added.

Americans who argue for internationalization of our foreign policy need to get a clue that France is not our friend. This is the country that has put in writing and said publicly that America needs to be weakened. This is the country that played both sides in the "Cold War." This is the country that hates America who they helped to create. This is the country that Sen. John Kerry would kowtow to.

It was our enemy, England, that recognized that it was wise to attach themselves to the enormous potential of America. It was Winston Churchill who said that England’s future was forever linked to their cousins in America.

The problem is that France, especially, and others are concerned about admission of a Muslim state – Turkey -- to the European Union. President Bush called on Turkey’s inclusion into the Union at the NATO conference. In typical fashion, France has blocked Turkey’s admission... some believe because of Turkey’s long support of America.
