Oh, it&#8217;s just fine to make fun of President Bush, but this other country&#8230; the sophisticated land of France&#8230; lay off them!  That&#8217;s just too much.  The US was so immature when they said &#8220;if you&#8217;re not with us, you&#8217;re against us&#8221;, but the French remain a sophisticated culture when they threaten to veto any resolution authorizing the use of force against a country that is clearly in posession of dangerous illegal weapons.<\/p>\n<p>Well it&#8217;s time to get your noses out of the air, you hypocritical closet self-loathers.
