Anne Applebaum:

It is in our own interest, then, to be magnanimous and to come up with ways to assist the French. We could, for example, help them to shatter the myth that they live in an enlightened society, insulated from racial tension, by mass-mailing them copies of Le Monde with the word 'America' crossed out in all editorials and the word 'France' substituted instead.

Then, after that, to really make a statement, we can stop spending our tourist dollars there.

Oh, wait, we already did that.

We can stop drinking French wine.

Oops, been there done that too.

We can stop watching French movies.

On second thought, that might be taking things a bit too far.
