      Living in a french-speaking country it’s hard to forget.

      The reaction at the time was partly bemusement though. We don’t call them “french” anyway, because they’re from Belgium.

      France opposed the Iraq war and said that the Americans were full of shit when they were claiming that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.

      Of course the Republicans snowflakes did not enjoy that.
