france

We as a great nation of ours have always been involved in warfare. We created our own independence through war with the brits and involved ourselves in war among ourselves less than 80 years later. We are not unlike any other nation in that war is are defining moments. Yet we, as the first free and democratic nation, are held to a higher standard. When you type about another country you always capitalize the first letter. It is a common standard to show respect. When you fly the flag of multiple countries it is given that same respect. I i did not capitalize france. I meant it as an insult, just as they have initially disrespected every American that has ever fought for this country. People forget history, but let me give you a brief lesson. During the revolutionary war of this great country france was at war in Europe with Great Britain. We toiled at war with Great Britain for 8 years, all the while france promised naval forces in order to end the war. france showed up when the war was essentially over and took credit for their contribution. No big deal, we move on. The Civil War. france promises to the Confederate States of America, once again naval protection against the evil north. Too little, too late if at all. We fight Indians and Mexicans for a while and france comes crawling back. They lost their country to the Germans and want our help. Short story we help them, but, they insist on refusing League of Nations Idea, and demand enormous reparations from the Germans. Good idea turns south when france is invaded in as little as 3 weeks and now the US has to come to the rescue. After the war france realized that its power over indochina is nil. france gives into communism in indochina and allows, who, the US to fight its battle while they develop nuclear energy plants. Skip ahead 20 years later and france decides they will sell nuclear technology to
"emerging countries". Who do ask are those? Iraq, Pakistan, and Iran. But wait france is such a peaceful nation that does not want any more war. france knew in 2001 what it had sold Iraq and in the end played the same UN card, even before the US , that Iraq was the next Nazi Germany. But love france because when it comes down to it Somalia is safe, Bosnia is safe, Georgia is safe. Listen to what france has to say, only for the comical value of their historical fortitude in international issues.
