Actually, we don't need to bomb France. We just need to ignore them on the international stage and marginalize their impact on world issues. That would do far more damage to their pride and might finally make them come to realize that they really don't matter all that much anymore.
Central Europe is not where the power is these days, and neither France nor Germany realizes that. Well, actually, you can make the argument that they DO realize it, which is why they are being so contrary to the U.S. and attempting to make themselves matter.
