Hey FrogBoy, why didn't you GO UP AND ASK why the American Flag items were missing? Did anyone already ask this?? (I might have missed it) Seems like it would have been the best thing to do.. confront the people on the reason for the omission. I have a hard time drawing any conclusions from the 'evidence' that you have privided. To me, it is nothing more than what you have described... A COINCEDENCE. Regardless of how much anti-France or anti-USA sentiment there might be, I find it hard to believe that a government facility would stoop to such levels. The general public renaming French Fries...etc.. I can see, but something that is a memorial or a museum... I don't see that happening. Possibly the items were stolen... maybe defaced... maybe bought up by some anti-US people to burn or deface... maybe it was a popular time of year for American tourists to be in the area.. sold out... who knows. All the 'evidence' is strictly circumstantial in my opinion. I would have to say that THIS IS A FREE COUNTRY... similarly, we SHOULD LET OTHER COUNTRIES BE FREE AS WELL. We're free to badmouth the French for their behavior and they are free to badmouth us. The REAL tragedy is that it's probably a minority of MORONS, both AMERICAN and FRENCH, that give EVERYONE a bad name. The few idiots who change french fries to freedom fries are the same type of morons who are anti-American French people. They probably even share the same moron genes.
