I often go to US and have never heard anyone call them...Freedom Fries! As matter of fact, most Americans do seem quite embarassed by the whole thing!
BTW, without help from the French Navy, the Americans would not have won the Revolution.

i assumed it became into pointless, yet basically an extremely few human beings did this. It became into blown waaaaay out of share with a view to paint conservatives interior the worst a danger easy. And idiots believed that, QED. besides, the reason for it is going a techniques previous the non-help. First, France had promised to assist the U. S. in discussions purely before the alternative, yet then reneged whilst the time got here to step up. this could be a reasonably extreme breach of international kin. It became out that the pals of extreme French officers, which includes Chiraq, have been in contact interior the UN's Oil-for-nutrition scam, getting wealthy and kicking back tens of millions to Saddam. It additionally seems that France became into persevering with to grant Iraq weapons, long as quickly as that they had signed up on the international ban on offering weapons to Iraq. can we even would desire to get into their timeless love and help of Arafat and his terrorist activities? So, there became into very stable reason for them to have earned the brickbats the conservatives forged at them. Duplicity and corruption should not be commemorated or gently brushed off.

Should have renamed them Fat Fries. It would have been more honest. But then it would have also been too close to the bone, in a manner of speaking.

No no myth, anything to do with France or French, so it was "Freedom toast" ,"Freedom Fries". They looked totally dumb doing something like that.

Yes, because the French, quite rightly, refused to ratify their illegal war.
So "freedom to invade other countries for our own oil-wealth related ends Fries", then

I believe they have, although I think they just call them fries so it wouldn't change things that much.
