A new direction for warfare. $1.45 bil worth of model airplanes.And thats just for the UK Something tells me I dont want to be caught in the sights of a very swift, smart, and unmanned machine. Surrender is no longer an option. A white flag dont cut it. Throwing down rifle dont cut it. Changing clothes? - forget it. Stop you fool, I'm an Englishman.And the machine does not hear you. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. biz.yahoo.com Sig

That the allies liberated Europe is in little doubt -- if this is a matter of urgent importance to you then by all means continue in your pursuits to prove that we did not participate in the liberation of Europe.

In his « L'Obsession Anti-Américaine » Jean-François Revel observed that there was a Le Monde editorial almost on the eve of D-Day claiming that America was the greatest danger to Democracy of all. So in a sense, if that's to be believed, it's nothing new. Don't forget the French have a love affair with collectivism, and are raised in a highly centralized, top down system of government. The geography of France is already revealing - there's Paris, some kind of logarithmic singularity with lines of force radiating throughout continental France.... Our respect for the individual has always been viewed with suspicion by the French, who often see Americans and our politicians as populist yahoos. This is where some of this stuff like the article you cite comes from.
