I sure hope so. The Wall St. Journal had a long, detailed opinion piece on the subject recently, too, which said basically that we should give France the Cheney treatment.

I think the US, and all other free nations, need to withdraw from any policy-making body that includes France. France's international power is almost entirely due to the institutions funded by the USA. It is an appropriate cost that they should lose that power as the consequence of abusing it.

I think if we merely admit to one another that we each follow radical different national foreign policy agendas it would help. After all nothing works like success. The US has emerged as the sole superpower and we believe that we can spread that success to the rest of the world. Europe - to be fair is enjoying the longest period of time SINCE THE ROMAN EMPIRE of not butchering each other. So this is what they believe they are supposed to spread around the world.
