I suspect that history will be positive about our actions in Iraq. What do you think?? And in the end, I think France is going to look like sh*t ...

Any comments??

I think that in 20 years people will view this as not a new war but as the ending of the '91 war.

A 13 year long war is what I predict it will be called.

Historically, France has been worthless. This will be no different for those pussies.

You may have forgotten that French Troops helped during the American Revolution. Of course that wasn't even the France we have today. Right now they're just getting in the way.

Look in Britian's text books and the United State's text books under the revolutionary war

i watched episodes of a british documentary "A Short History of England" that was playing on TLC and the guy who was doing it thought that england was winding up with the wrong empire, that they weren't the antithesis to the french monarchy, and that the american revolution was a wakeup call

This interests me. What do the british books say? That they let us win?

I'm not sure about now, but they used to say that Britain had more pressing concerns and they decided to let us have our fun with self governing

According to the Mayans Bush has just caused the end which will come in 2012. None of the remote viewers can see past then either
