*OT* Seriously, if you don't stop this French bashing I'm going to lapse back to the old WLL rant.

Limtex and all, those guys came to save Europe, of which the French are only a part (although an important part since they make the Cognac). So we can't seriously expect the French to be obedient for the US forever. And in any case, their pilots took part in the Gulf war energetically blasting away the civilians of the defenceless Baghdad alongside their equally heroic American and British comrades.

Even worse judgement (not actually yours, Limtex) was to suggest that the French should be towing the British line since the Brits supported one particular politician (de Gaulle). Has anyone ever heard of a hundred year war? Occupation of Bretagne? Jeanne d'Arc? Waterloo? World Cup of 1998?

French have given lot to the world. Think about the French letters, French kisses and French lingerie. Plus, who could seriously argue with the concept of French maids?
