Also, US Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert has discussed with other Republicans about the possibility to impose limits on French wine and water.

Meanwhile, Americans are beginning to boycott French products because of that country's stance on war with Iraq.

Meanwhile, Thomas Friedman of the NYT thinks France should be removed from the UN Security Council. Instead, we should replace them with nascent nuclear power India. For what damning reason should France be expelled? Because France has become, in his words, "silly".

And again, meanwhile, after about a decade of British bad guys in American movies, Hollywood is urging writers to start thinking about French villians.

Quick -- how many of the 9/11 hijackers were French?
