    Mexico, France, and Germany along with others didn’t join the war either. The outage and BS about France that came out after was sad considering their long history of freedom together and the Statue of Liberty being a gift from France.

    Still don’t think Freedom Fries stuck, as it’s not freedom to just go and kill people because it filled a political need.
