I saw someone post this picture in r.s.s. Apparently, the guy was upset that he wasn't let in a pool in Czechoslovakia where he was visiting (he's from the U.S.) Have you seen these kind of signs elsewhere? Not that I'm against them, I'm perfectly fine wearing the "approved" attire.

I just don't understand why people think the French should have joined in on the Iraq thing. In WWI and II they were invaded and the U.S. and other countries entered the fray to help repulse the aggressor. With Iraq we are the invading force. Perhaps the French have learned over the course of the 20th century that being invaded isn't so hot?
Now, if a foreign army invaded the U.S., and the French didn't help to defend us, then I can see getting upset at them.
Oh, I get it, the French only have to get involved if they are getting their butts whooped. Wait, they didn't get involved, others did and bailed them out. I guess you are right, if they can't defend their own freedom, we shouldn't expect them to defend the freedom of others getting trampled on.
