Mike,
Had the invasion gone as planned, it would be freedom fries not french fries shortening the lives of millions of Americans, and people would be applauding at the sight of the French eating humble pie to try to get a few contracts. ;-)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
