Okay, the pathetic attempts at equivilancy here are more than I can take. If you can't see the difference between the sillyness of freedom fries, and the venal, grotesque pettiness of taking down the flag of dead soldiers who liberated your country, then you're not fit to partake in any discussion on the subject. The goof-ball trolls here, spouting the same absurdities of American Imperialist Wars of Aggression, would be laughable were their venom not so widely shared by the ignorant. "The Americans started it." No, they didn't. "They can dish it out, but they can't take it." Obviously, we can, and have, for too long. Go put on your over-size Che shirt, and curl back into a fetal position under your rock, cretins. And dream your sad, self important fantasies in in private. As for me, I have to go back to work. Another American proclivity that the chattering French resent....
