Uh, I don't get it. Cobb could be extradited from France, he just claimed it would be difficult. Besides, I think it was implied that Cobb wanted to be able to go home, and no longer have to be a fugitive. I don't think this is actually a plot hole.

He is a fugitive from the law and I don't think it would be particularly safe/smart to move his kids from the US. This isn't a plot hole. He wanted his name and be able to see his children without still being a fugitive.

You're taking it a bit too literally, but it's a plothole in that he certainly could have seen his kids in France if he could see Caine there. Of course, he'd still be a big, superspecial fugitive, albeit one who a big, superspecial foreign entity could pick up a phone and help exonerate.
Did I mention if you go into a dream within a dream within a dream within a dream you get a free eggroll?

Still don't think it is a plot hole so I guess we'll have to agree to disagree...

Okay... So now I'm going to have to see this movie this weekend so I can get the joke here.

That makes a lot of sense!

The "TV Tropes" article on Inception is definitely worth a read (and they cleverly hide any potential spoilers...): http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Inception
It had never occurred to me that the Tom Hardy and Joseph Gordon-Levitt characters are "flirting" with each other, but apparently their banter/relationship falls under another trope called "Ho Yay": http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HoYay
"You gotta learn to dream BIGGER, Arthur!" Indeed...

Because Michael Caine's character would then be a fugitive from the law.
