France could if it wanted annul the treaties recognizing Monaco's independence tomorrow and that would be that Why hasn't it, then? Let me answer that one for you - Because France benefits from the existence of Monaco as a separate entity. In general, I pity anyone who doesn't live in the US Ho ho ho!

How are your pitiful re-districting going in Texas, as quickly as shredding documents and abusing FatherLand Security?? Democacy is a difficult thing, no doubts about that, and a catch-22 gerrymandered 2-party system makes evolution even worse. Luckily not even Bush wants a 2-party system in neither Iraq nor Palestinia. (let's just hope USA does not demand anything similar to those few party-list systems also left, although they are not in a state of cacth-22) However, remember that the 2-party gerrymandering "has served USA well", could be much worse.. For example, there is little reason to vote if the districts are gerrymandered vith enough skill.
