Actually, there was a period in the 80's during which US tourists had to
obtain a visa before visiting France. This followed terrorist bombings
in Paris. The French authorities wanted to restrict movements of
potential terrorists. The terrorist movements involved nationals of
former French colonies, and given various treaties it was only possible
to require visas for nationals of these countries if they were also
required from nationals of every country outside the European Union --
including the US. Do you see the parallel with the current US
legislation?
