>>For some reasons, Germans and British both feel great contempt for the French revolution<< Huh?! Where's that from? It's a "pars pro toto" argument. I'd say 50% would not know, there was a revolution in France, 20% would not know what it was all about and 20% would say "get lost" in the first place. Are we talking about the remaining 10%? For sure not. One (sad) fact about Germans is that on one hand they were the first to understand in its entirety what the French revolution was and explained its (philosophical and etical) substrate. Unfortunately the kick-start by German philosophers (Fichte, building on the basis of Kant, Hegel) was not followed up by the people. Bismarck & Wilhelm etc came instead. For me, I find the idea of "la grande nation" sort of amusing - I mean, do you really need to say it loud, leave it to the facts that speak for themselves. Britts may be "not amused" by the same, but except for yellow press... No, it just does not rhyme CB. dj
