All the backlash against the removal of US insignia from the normandy memorial is REDICULOUS.
Let's not forget that it was AMERICA that started dumping wine, destroying cheese, and clamoring for the return of the Statue of Liberty (how fitting) when France refused to support our Illegal and Imoral war against Iraq. France actually had the balls to stand up to a long-time ally and tell them they were in the wrong, and we reply with insults and jeers. The French did what any other civilized intelligent enclave would do, wash their hands of us. If being buddies with the United States means you have to unilaterally support American Terrorism and American Imperialism, its obviously not worth it.
