Actually, looks like they are doing that to themselves these past several
weeks. Problem is that their answer to the problem is more of what got
them into this predicament in the first place -- they just don't think they
have appeased their immigrants enough, they just need to give them more
money.


How so? They were a major help at the battle of Yorktown,

I think the OP mentioned this

they were an
ally in two world wars

... umm, they were the battlefield for two world wars, it was other
countries that came in to bail them out. Granted, the French resistance
performed admirably. If they had stood up to Hitler to start with, they
probably wouldn't have been a battlefield. Actually, if they hadn't been
among those imposing huge war reparations upon Germany following the first
world war, the second most likely would not have happened.

and during the police action in Korea, they
warned us about Indo-China,

They bailed out of Indo-China, leaving it to us.

they shed tears with us on and after 9-11,

Which all civilized countries did.

and they did their best to tell us that our intelligence on Iraqi WMDS
was incorrect so that we would not make ourselves look like liars
and/or idiots to the rest of the world.


Not exactly, they were trying to keep the US from finding out just how
much in bed they had been with Saddam and what a mockery they had helped
make of the "oil for Saddam's palaces" program.

What have you noticed that I missed? Or does all of the above
constitute "askin' for it"?
