They should make a park that showcases all of their defeats for the last 100 or so years.

Will it come complete with nearly 200,000 frozen French corpses rotting on the frozen Russian tundra while Napoleon rides in comfort and style? ...I kind of doubt it. Amazing how good the French are with selective history”.

Indochina and Algeria were not Sunday strolls in the park.

The veterans of Dien Bien Phu and Algiers were not cowards.

Here is the last photo of two patriots. These men died in an effort to protect you and yours in the global war on terror. Mocking the French or their resolve is only for the ignorant.

The Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys froze their cajones off in Russia.

This is a timely announcement, given the pending breakup of the Eurozone.

The subtext? "If we go bankrupt, we can resurrect the Empire."

This mindset should give Germany pause. Germany is sandwiched between neo-Napoleonic France and the Russian bear.

“Daily reminder to the French the last time they had cajones.”

Napoleon wasn't French. He was Corsican.

And his rule set France on a path from being a world power to an also-ran. Contrast to George Washington who set *his* country on a path from being a never-was to the world's leading power.

The Hitler of his time: Attempted to conquer Europe by force, Russian campaign that ended badly, dictator, created new “legal” structure, etc.

France: Whose greatest soldier was a woman, and whose greatest general was an Italian midget. Where in the theme park will they put “Goose Step” Lane?

I am still a huge fan of Napoleon.

He was trying to overthrow the monarchies of Europe. Had he done so, there would have been far better quality of life for many who suffered otherwise. I don’t know that much good came from Europe’s monarchies. I have to think the people would have been better off in a European Republic which was Napoleon’s ultimate goal.

His goal of Empire was to secure a United States of Europe. Had he succeeded, there would have been no World War I or World War II. Not saying he could have succeeded with Europe’s many disparate cultures and languages, just saying IF he had succeeded.

The victors write history and all major depictions and descriptions of Napoleon were from the British. It is no different from the left describing Reagan. The British hated Napoleon, as they should, but the history they wrote is very one sided and Napoleon was nowhere near the tyrant monster he is depicted as being.

I can only wish that he had united Europe as planned.
