not having sterile international transit and forcing everyon to clear US immigration and customs even if you are connecting to another international flight would be a good place to start.

The French felt there was little evidence of Iraq having WMDs, or working with Al-Qaeda, and refused to back George W. Bush's US-led invasion in the UN.

The US responded with a wine boycott, renaming French Fries to Freedom Fries on the congresesional cafe menu, and some WW2-related insults on TV.

At the time, a lot of people would say GWB was one of the worst ever US presidents, that cutting taxes while spending a bunch on a costly war was irresponsible, etc.

But looking back? That guy had no signs of dementia, no major convictions, hadn’t been credibly accused of rape, and nobody was heiling hitler at his inauguration. I for one now look back on his presidency fondly.

Name it.

US desire for oil, troops being stationed abroad, supply-side economics, "lack of culture", gun politics.

Those are off the top of my head.
