It is a sad truth that many of our “allies” are simply fair-weather friends. Many Americans continue to be concerned about what countries like France think and have to say, as if they are still supporters of America and the American way of life.

Charles Krauthammer has written an excellent column, A loyal ally, mate detailing their long standing support and it’s well worth reading.
