Here's your tasteless Sunday treat: Gateway Pundit and a couple of others on the right are mocking a French event commemorating the US-led liberation of that country in WWII.
Asking "Goodness, What's Happened to France?", Gateway Pundit shows a brief series of pictures (culled from MSM mainstay Reuters) showing thousands of people lined up on Omaha Beach, forming a human chain that spells "France Will Never Forget". Below the words, the American and French flags are held aloft.
So, what's happened to France? Not a thing. The real question is what's happened to the slice of Americans that have turned long-time allies, partners, and friends into enemies.
French foreign policy often butts up against America's interest in a given region. This should surprise no one. France has played the role of regional European power since before North America appeared on European maps. That two powerful, internationally engaged nations often disagree in pursuing their own interests is a no-brainer. Only to the crazies on the utter fringe of the right does this make a nation like France our enemy. Idiots.
