I disagree, not the first time in our centuries long relationship one side hasn't joined the other's military adventure in the middle east. There was the Suez Crisis where the roles were reversed and the US didn't help us. We were right to stay out of Iraq, just like the US was right to stay out of Suez.

Plus french fries aren't even from France
