Perhaps your minor in history didn't cover The Great War, the
Napoleonic Wars, or the Seven Year's War.

Look those up and then come back and discuss France's place in world
history.

Wow, that's really impressive. Not.

Try to keep up, please? We weren't talking about France's "place in
history" -- we're talking about their national behavior in World War
II, their current status as a former world power, and their current
role as the butt of much disparaging humor in America.


why exactly am i suppose to be disparaging france?
this seems to have started after they said they were not going to fight in iraq
without real evidence that iraq was making nbc weapons

it sounds to me like i supposed to flush two hundred years
of friendship and mutual struggle down the toilet
because they were right about iraq

does that sum it up correctly


Pretty much.

Nothing like having a handy French Fleet to bottle up Cornwallis on a
penninsula.

How would things have turned out if the French were not on our side in
the revolution?
