The war has started, much to our dismay. We have no support from anyone but Blair and Kuwait. France, Germany, and Russia are opposing the war on Iraq strongly and this has led to a new lump of ludicrosity...

Well, most of us have heard that a cafeteria in NYC changed "french fries" and "french toast" to "freedom fries" and "freedom toast" in a demonstration agaist France and the fact that they don't want to support this red herring we're running after. I have to say it: these people totally PISS ME OFF.

Yes, it is time for Asmearis, defender of the French, to step in. First, I have to say this is really ludicrous. The joke's on them. French fries aren't French, they're Belgian. French toast is an American dish, named after the guy who invented it, whose last name is French. So what kind of half-assed protest is this? Next we'll have Freedom Dressing, freedom poodles, freedom doors, freedom clay masques, freedom kissing, freedom bread, and more. Maybe the French should protest Bush's stupid war by calling American cheese "Idiot Cheese".

People are saying they're going to boycott French products. I can't believe that a few American ignorami not buying a bottle of Chablis or a chunk of Brie is really going to break the French economy. Also, some people are being REALLY stupid: There have been reports of people buying stores out of French wine and flushing it down toilets. HELLO, YOU'VE ALREADY GIVEN THEM YOUR MONEY AND YOU'RE WASTING SOME GREAT ALCOHOL?!?!?!?

It's not just the French either. Germany and Russia openly oppose the movement for war, and probably most of the rest of the world is against it too. So why are we complaining about the French, and not anyone else?

If we really want to insult the French, how about we blow up the Statue of Liberty? Or how about we topple it over into the bay? In case you've all forgotten, the French government gave us that as a gift. Our symbol of freedom is a French statue. Also, in case it's left American minds, remember that we owe our independence to the French. We were losing the Revolutionary War, and French troops came in and saved us. If they hadn't done that, there would be no America.

I love the French people, as you can probably tell, and I think they're right in this whole war thing. I might sound like I'm an America-hater right now, but I assure you I'm not. I just find it hard to be patriotic when we're being led down this path to war, and our leader won't listen to others who are trying to advise him. He won' even listen to the cries of his people.
