Even the prissy-pants french sent us a really big statue for saving their bacon.
Excuse me? Just when did this happen?
You know, that Statue of Liberty.
Came from the french, you remember.

In another hundred years, Mark Steyn will probably be recognized as the pre-eminant political observer of his time.
To: WhiteGuy
Another Amen for "Steyn is a genius" - and thank God for him.

9) Despite Saddam emptying his prisons of cutpurses and other ne’er-do-wells just before the war, coalition authorities report that crime in Basra has fallen by 70 per cent.This one is telling, not just because it means people can feel safer and be happier. It also implies at least the possibility of an economic boom. There's nothing to suppress an economy like fear, and nothing to boost it like optimism.

Brilliant dissertation!
I usually don't like his serious essays as much as his satire, but this one's a keeper.
Thanks for the ping. So glad I didn't miss this!

Sure I remember but the bacon saving occurred in the 20th century and the Statue of Liberty was given in the 19th century so it couldn't have been a reward for something that hadn't happened yet.
Did we do some french bacon saving in the 1800 that I don't recall?

No kidding..............
I guess you've pointed out my ignorance.
Thank you!
I guess we can add the french back to the list of "places where American Tax dollars have been wasted".

Sorry! Didn't mean to make you feel bad. I thought that maybe they had given us another statue at some point. I was going to have to re-think my french bashing.
I am happy to know that I can bash with a clear conscience.

I like your notion, but it wont work as a campaign slogan. Very few people even know where Haiti and Kosovo are, let alone the lesson to be taken from Clinton's adventures there.
