Operation Iraqi Freedom

"Thanks France!"

For the first time in history, America was seeking help from France...but France turned her back! Please remember these dead Americans when you go shopping, as the French seem to have forgotten them. France has every right to disagree with America, but France has moved from simple dissent to active hostility toward America. France President Chirac warned East European nations that if they sided with the United States, France would oppose their membership in the European Union. William Safire has reported in the New York Times that France has been secretly helping to arm Iraq and has been helping Iraq build long range missiles. These same missiles may possibly have been used against our own United States Soldiers. Just as France has exercised its right to disagree, all Americans can exercise their right to boycott and help countries that do not stand with us.
