Ah, the arrogance of the old country. The continent that pushed the world into two world wars that they were loosing until the idiots across the pond sacrificed lives, money, and etc. so you could remain free and now you are going to bite the hand that helped you. BTW, Stalin and Hitler were killing millions in the last century, so the U.S. was around when Europe and Asia were committing the atrocities I mentioned.
No, I don't admit our health system is not the best in the world. I wonder how much of the Swiss treasury is made of up confiscated Jewish millions stolen by Germans. France couldn't hold onto their own territory in Europe or Indochina so now they have joined with their old enemy as the only way to find a back bone. Spain, Portugal, and other European countries massacared more Native Americans on two continents than the early American settlers did.
As long as the U.S. purse is deep we have friends but when our "friends" are requested to join in a common cause and oil (Iraq is the major supplier of oil to France) is more important than friendship then we know who we can trust.
Maybe it is time we kept our money and let Europe and Asia destroy each other instead of the lives of our youth.
