SUPPOSE FRANCE WAS OUR SWORN ENEMY, WHAT WOULD THEY DO?
A work of fiction because France is an ally

1. They have no military.
2. They have no exports other than weapons and subsidized farm products.
3. Unemployment rate near 8% and climbing.
4. Nobody wants their cars, films or Internet products.
5. They pretend that wine, cheese, chocolates, truffles, and perfume are somehow big time exports. Trust me, they aren't.
6. They pretend that their vicious Anti-Semitism isn't really. Trust me, it is.

I submit the French are like every other loser on the planet. No loser will work to get better in order to effectively challenge and eventually compete with the competition. Losers "compete" by attempting to pull down the strong by lying, cheating, backstabbing, and other well known tactics. They try to feel good about themselves by befriending other losers and convincing one and all that if it weren't for the successful people everything would be OK.

What the French are doing now is befriending Putin, a huge loser as a result of the war, his oil reserves worth half of what they could have been had Iraq won; cozying up with Syria, enough said there; and being the "best friend" of Germany, a country that is an economic basket case with unemployment nearing 11%, no military, and nothing to offer anybody but the highest labor costs anywhere. Another "best friend" is Belgium (don't laugh). And another is, wait a minute I'll think of one; there must be a despicable dictator somewhere that France wants to be best friends with; North Korea? China? Oh yeah, the Sudan.

So these loser states in Africa that the French would gladly sack one more time if they could, have joined with France to pull the U.S.A. down. To tarnish all we do, all we accomplish, and all we want to do. The goal of the French is to be number one in Europe with influence over Africa and the Middle East. In order to accomplish this they must freeze out American farm products and seeds that are genetically engineered; these seeds could end starvation in Africa in a single growing season. If that happened France would lose exports. That's why they sponsor the propaganda lie that genetically engineered food is bad for health. In order to gain an edge with their inferior technology they must freeze out American technology on the Internet, American computer services, and American software; so they rally the "World Court", the EU trade commission, etc., in an effort to shut down American web sites and American marketing, not to mention free speech. France needs to come as close as possible to converting our victory in Iraq into a defeat or a "quagmire". To accomplish this end they will sneak war criminals into France, WMD scientists into France, and try to sue us in the World Court for War Crimes; this latter activity will garner broad support among the American Left who hate America even more than does France.

Another thing France might work on, if they were our enemy: Iraq "owes" nearly $300 billion. These loans are to all the usual suspects: big banks, France, Germany, Russia, and assorted rich guys around the world who put up the bucks for the gold guns, lavish palaces, and personal handouts to Saddam. Now they want to be paid back. France, if they were our enemy, would lead all these dictator loving scumbags and would rally the UN, the World Courts, and what ever other countries they can so they can "stick it to" the New Iraq to keep them down and get even with us.

This is what we are dealing with. Just another pathetic loser doing what pathetic losers do.
