I don't think I have the writing skills to accurately express how ridiculous this is.

I'm really glad our elected officials are taking the time to change the name of french fries. Forget about making sure kids get a good education, let's spend our time retalliating like six year olds to a country who has every right to have its own opinion. Since when did we sanction other countries who disagreed with us?
They're FRENCH FRIES!
Oh my god, maybe I should move to Sweeden.

Actually, the same thing apparently happened during WWII. Things with German names were changed for more "freedom" loving sounding names. For example, saurkraut became something like "freedom cabbage." The whole thing is ridiculous. I mean, when did taking a position that differs from the official line become such an offense that we start to pretend that you don't even exist. I've got problems with the French but it has nothing to do with Iraq. But why are we focusing so much attention on them. Shouldn't we be worried about Russia and China who also seem to oppose a war? Those are 2 countries that could do some real damage to our shores. And what about the economy? I'm tired of driving around on empty looking for gas that's under a $1.50/gal. Dammit. I want a recount in Florida.

My question is where we take this. Will the frog growers of America demand that the French slur be dropped and now we refer to frogs as freedom beasts? This whole war just discourages me about our purported democracy, because the will of so many has been completely ignored. On top of that, our nation which set up an international democratic body is now acting so despotically. WHat a sad time in which we live.

I've already thrown away all my french cuffed shirts, and the cufflinks with the Depardu's face on them.
Tour De France = Tour De terror supporters!
