you're not picking on the french are you?

why they are aces of revolution, rolling heads while people knitted and cheered

with a true knack for violence and bloodlust

they invented the guillotine ["La Veuve" – the widow]

and the French by-product, a little guy named Napoleon

also, we might take a look at french history for imperialism, they didn't occupy nations because they wanted to create a free society which could eventually run themselves - they went in to take over the resources - they did not apply those resources to make the countries better either - neither were they interested in leaving lest they found they had to

the only thing historically impressive with France is their receipes
