French Fries vs Freedom Fries

’One tuna wrap and one coke. Would you like a side order of freedom fries with it?’

Yep! get used to it. The house of fools (I think they go by the name of house of representatives as well) just passed an order that french fries and french toast shall be no more. It shall be freedom toast
and freedom fries.

What freedom! The fact that France refused to back them up is a testament to ’their’ freedom. WHY! Why cant Bush understand that freedom means ’nations exercising their will without infringing on rights of others’ NOT ’america exercising its will. period’.

I don't care about US policies. Its a game of power, economics and exploitation and the US has front row seats. So be it. What bugs me is that they wont call a spade a spade. The farce that they put up to give their actions some semblance of respectability are downright lame. Even the general Amerian public (those who know the difference between the Middle East and South Asia) are shaking thier heads and wondering, how this fool got to be the president.

Why does America think that they can edit/delete/update any part of history that does not conform to their views? Why can't they be professional and take criticism? Why can they not understand that everyone does not have to agree with them? Whenever a country dares to assert its right of making the decision to send thousands of its children to war the US gets all upset. Its reaction: Dig up the history books and rewrite it to show how the French have always been suckers and remove any trace of French influence from your society.

They say that the French are chickening out because of economic interest. Yeah, well so what?. Wake up!! Everything is about economics. You want war because of the economic advantage as well. People now don't even buy the bullshit when you say stuff like, ’ we are going in for the sake of world peace and democracy and .. ’yawn!!

If you take a broader look at how the US has been acting and take an arrogant brawling 6 year old..... no no.. take a 4 year old... I think you might find some parallels. I mean freedom fries. C’mon get serious.
not a very coherent article, I realise that.. but i just cannot seem to be able to write, without some of my colorful language creeping in everytime I try to discuss Bush.
