WHat you are stating is true.
However, my guess is there are few Charlemagnes left in France, few Caesars left in Italy, few Bismarks left in Germany and few Cids left in Spain.
If I had to choose who to have in a foxhole next me, if I knew nothing else about the man, it would be a Brit rather than any of those European Continentals.
I'd pick Jean Marie Le Pen.
