Just Ignore 'Em
Someone in a position of influence has finally said it. France is no friend of the United States. Richard Perle, the chairman of the Pentagon Advisory Board, is
quoted by UPI as urging the United States and NATO to "develop a strategy to contain" France because "our erstwhile ally" is "no longer the ally it once was."
How about this strategy to contain France: ignore them; I can't think of one downside to this policy. In geopolitical terms, the wants and desires of France are only relevant if the United States gives them any consideration. Had the U.S. ignored France's pro-Saddam b.s. from the git-go, Saddam would have been toast a year ago.
And let's not forget the most significant benefit of an Ignore France Doctrine: not having to hear the French speak French.
Besides, why do we need an ally who's a perennial loser? According to
ConquerFrance.com, even you can conquer France!
Thanks to Sus for alerting me to that website. At this very moment she is conquering France from her command center in Iowa.
