So, the US took kickbacks? No? Then what exactly was its "wrongdoing"? Not catching every smuggled shipment. Letting a few through, sometimes for diplomatic purposes?

Hmmm.... different than taking kickbacks?

I think so. But, if not, I don't care. We don't like the French leader. We can come up with reasons, but hey why play the charade -- we don't like him, and that's that. Goes for most of the rest of France and a good deal of Europe altogether, too. In fact, it's a darned good thing there's an ocean between us.
