Your are making the world a lot of **** because no more than 3000
people have been killed on your nbational soil....
Come here in the eastern part of France, and then you may perhaps me

Ah, Nemo, mon vieux, we have. Twice, in the last 100 years. And shed
quite a bit of blood to help you have it back. (And aided you in
Indochina, and Algeria, for all the good that did us.) We don't need
to fight a war on our own soil every 50 years or so to remind us that,
if we're going to be fighting, we'd rather do it on somebody else's
soil.
