Uh oh! We're Back to Freedom Fries and Freedom Toast Again

Can you imagine the European Union (of which I don't think the US is a part) actually had a problem with George Bush telling them whom to admit to its membership? I'm sure Mr. Bush couldn't.

French President Jacques Chirac has taken U.S. President George W. Bush to task over his call for Turkey's admission to the European Union.

"If President Bush really said that in the way that I read, then not only did he go too far, but he went into territory that isn't his," Chirac said of a remark Bush made over the weekend.

"It is is not his purpose and his goal to give any advice to the EU, and in this area it was a bit as if I were to tell Americans how they should handle their relationship with Mexico."
