    Ah, Brutus……giving up,eh? Is that why you’re sleeping underneath the French flag?

    I think I’ve have more confidence in the WWII French Resistance than the coming-when-it’s-all over Americans with their ‘smart’ missiles.

    If it wasn’t for the French, we’d still be singing “God Save the Queen.”
    From the James Cagney movie, “Yankee Doodle Dandy,” in a scene where Cagney as George M. Cohan appears as Franklin D. Roosevelt in the play, “I’d Rather Be Right”:
    I can’t forget how Lafayette
    Helped give us our first chance
    To win our fight for liberty
    And now they’ve taken France
    We’ll take it back from Hitler
    And put ants in his “Japants”
    And that’s…FOR…the record!

    True, but that was pre-Revolutionary France. After that, French policy has always (except during the time of Napoleon) been a total muddle—of course, Robespierre probably wiped out most of those who could have given France a sound policy.

    Turn it upward and it’s the Russian Flag.

    That’s the American Flag – he’s gonna conquer what he KNOWS how to conquer… something that can’t fight back.

    He has a long list of chores and on a Sunday,too. Why does Wilberforce still have homework? Does he have to make up snow days or strike days?

    And if it wasn’t for the Americans, the French would still be goose-stepping to the Horst-Wessel-Lied. What’s your point?
