Wait a second, that kind of sounds like what they were complaining about the US doing in the Middle east, or even worse, working for, "regime change"  The US on the other hand saved their ass's during WWII to save them from the brutal occupation by an invading country that was recognized by most the world as evil, and was intent on exterminaiting the jewish race and ruling all of europe. And yes I thank the french for heliping us during the revolution 200 years, ago, but WWII is still fresh enough in the sands of American and French history, that it takes on more relevance to our current diplomatic situation then events 2 centuries ago. |
So that means France should always do what America demands of them? Is that why you helped them to maintain a free democratic country, so you can take that freedom away from them yourself?
Friendship between countries is the same as the friendship between friends. Do you always expect blind loyalty from your friends even though they think its completely wrong what you are doing? Dont you expect from them to stop you if they think you make a terrible mistake? I rather have friends that dont kiss my **s all the time but have their own opinion and i give them every right to speak for themself and to tell me honestly without fear of losing my friendship their opinion. Friends should have the right to have another opinion and to act accordingly. Friends that only do as you say are not real friends! Thats my opinion!
