Do you judge the country only by the way it behaved in a war? You can't deny that France had (and still has) the best writers, painters and women maybe?

Back in the day the Greeks had all that, but they ended up Rome's b!tch.

In order to make a joke do you judge a country in all areas, or just the ones concerning the joke?

In 1966 upon being told that Charles DeGaulle had taken France out of NATO and that all U.S. Troops must be evacuated off of French soil President Lyndon Johnson told Secretary of State Dean Rusk:

"Ask him about the cemeteries Dean!"

So at end of the meeting Dean did ask DeGaulle if his order to remove all U.S. troops from French soil also included the 60,000+ soldier buried in France from World War I and World War II.

DeGaulle never answered.

Todays young French don't seem to think much about America's sacrifice for them ..but then again it wasn't Todays Young Americans who made that Sacrifice..yet they have no qualms about claiming it as their own.

Making fun of the French is probably fashionable nowadays, like protesting.





Anyways, its funny seeing how similar France and the US are and how much they disagree.

Red, when you are right you are right.

It's time for the US to just forget about all of those Americans that fought in WWI and WWII. It seems that the rest of the world has.

Well it sure seems taking credit for others sacrifices is real popular in the states.

Dennis Miller specializes in anti-French humor. "The only way the French are
going in is if we tell them we found truffles in Iraq," Miller says.
"The French are always reticent to surrender to the wishes of their friends
and always more than willing to surrender to the wishes of their enemies."

I sure don't claim it as my own but I sure as hell try to remember the people that sacrificed so much just so that I could live in this wonderful country the way I do today.

Sucks don't it. And most of them don't even understand that alot of the guys that went over there and died didn't elect to be in the army in the first place, they got drafted and went over anyways.

Yeah, but they usually don't brag about how they saved the French and how the French should be grateful and not oppose the US, like the people who had nothing to do with it do...

Twisting history to make yourself look better is not a French only thing. Why don't you try and point out a country that doesn't do that?

What I meant is...there really isn't that much difference between a frenchman and an american. Countries are similar too...both western democracies which want to dominate the world and tell other countries what to do. And because they both want to have power, they clash with each other often.

Only a dumbass would think the French are opposing action in Iraq because they are cowardly. Its because they want to be a major player in Iraq, but a US invasion would shut them out.
