How our government was so petty to call french fries "freedom fries"?
How Bill O'Reilly (Remember him?) said the Paris Business Review (Totally a real paper) said a boycott of France by Fox News viewers had the whole country on the ropes?
How the people who cheered as bulldozers trashed piles of Dixie Chicks CDs said we should go after them next?

Turned out they were on to something.

It seems as though history repeats itself, the Iraq War then, the Trump-Putin Wave of Terror today.

I've been thinking the same thing. The French were smart enough to not join in the Iraq war and topped us again by not electing the "right-wing" candidate.

As if having an informed citizenry makes a nation out of step with the times.
