Far be it for me to defend the French - but to be fair to all the French - I had to post this. Not all of them have forgotten that we have stood by them in the past.

Perhaps there are some of the French worth defending. I'm skeptical though...

I remember some of the French defending Americans after 9/11 when we were discussing going to Afghanistan. They had not forgotten WWI & WWII.

It would be nice to think they hadn't all forgotten...

It's what keeps being driven home to me - every time I lump a group together and think they are all bad, good ones show up!

Unfortunately, I cannot just implicitly trust pro-American French articles. I'm sure it's true that many French do not support their government's policies, but the cynical side of me wonders where these articles were before France was on the brink of holy war in their own streets.

Thanks for posting this. My uncle is buried in one of those cemeteries. I'm glad some people over there remember.
