Should the new "Five Eyes" be Australia, Britain, Canada, France, and New Zealand? The folks in Paris seem aware that it's a Bad Sign when they have a big, belligerent nation to their east. Plus, Britain and France were best buddies in the decade or so after WWII - mostly out of fear that the Americans would get tired of the whole "NATO thing", and leave Europe to the Red Army's tender mercies.
