I wonder if those who like to bash the french and propagate boycotting french products are already considering sending the Satue of Liberty back to France. That would be the next logical step, wouldn't it?

Sure. I wouldn't mind at all. A statue? Hell, what's a statue in comparrison to support for lives lost in support of one?

somehow that doesn't makes the sense I wanted it to by way of saying how does a freaking statue compare for the lives one nations spent defending and freeing another.

Now THAT is a stellar idea!!! I wonder if we could lift it whole and drop it on them. Ooooh drop it right on the Eiffel tower so it's like impaled there.

The US sending back the statue of liberty would be a very apt metaphor for the times we live in.

True enough.

Depending on how you look at it, an apt metaphor for either position.
