We were one of the countries who were part of a so called “axis of evil”

Slight correction, no, they didn't go that far. We're "Old Europe".

It was also when they renamed French Fries to Freedom Fries to protest the French being, well, French, as if the French wouldn't already be constantly doing that. (Meanwhile Belgium was hoping someone would notice them).

Thanks for the correction. And yes, I remember the freedom fries, lol! Poor Belgium.
