Remember after the invasion of Iraq when France was vilified by many Americans, including members of Congress. French fries were renamed “freedom fries,” and the French were derided as “surrender monkeys.”
Yesterday the French Premier announced that France would continue to accept Syrian refugees. He pointed out that the plight of refugees has not changed because of the terrorist attacks.
In the meanwhile Republican presidential candidates, Republican governors, and much of the American public have decided to repeat the mistakes of this country prior to World War II, when the U.S. turned back Jewish children escaping from Nazi Germany. I think it is pretty clear who are the “surrender monkeys.”
