Look those up and then come back and discuss France's place in world history. My master's in History and I will be waiting. Dan Well Rome used to rule the known world. It hasn't translated well into modern military or even diplomatic power for Italy. Yes, but they terrific coffee and very reasonably priced high quality restaurants. Not to mention Alfa Romeos and the ability to look cool even when riding a motor scooter. What else could you want? Bertie |

If you're trying to say the Resistance acted as a moral counter-balance to the vast majority of French who sat on their hands whilst under the yoke of the most immoral regime in modern history, you'd be wrong. But what else is new? Well you've not shown yourself in a good light at all in this thread. I think you should rethink you attitudes and preconceptions. Cheers |

Well you've not shown yourself in a good light at all in this thread.
I think you should rethink you attitudes and preconceptions. I don't have attitudes and preconceptions -- but I do have a minor in history from the University of Wisconsin, and another 30 years of World War II studies under my belt. My father was a Captain in the US Army Air Corps during the war, and was stationed in France and Germany in 1945. To assume I'm not intimately familiar with France's wartime history and post-war behavior is presumptuous. Sorry if stating facts hurts your pride, but I calls 'em as I sees 'em. The fact remains that the French were humiliated in 1940, many French acted dishonorably under the Nazi yoke, and they have yet to fully come to terms with their fate as a former world power. Don't despair, however. WRT France not gracefully accepting their lessened global position, they aren't alone. Every dominant world power eventually faces the same fate, and the U.S.'s turn is coming. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

If, as is often claimed, they are in fact making the things at a loss and at the expense of the government, you can bankrupt them in revenge by buying loads of 'busses. Bertie |
