"Actually, France has NEVER been a friend to the U.S." They helped finance the Revolutionary War, provided us with strategic advice, provided a model for our constitution, and gave us the Statue of Liberty.
Haven't done much for us lately, but that's no excuse for revisionist history.

We weren't the US yet, Cowboy. They helped us become the US, but they haven't been our friend since.
Not revising.

btw, I'm not counting the Statue of Liberty.........a token, but not an alliance.
There was a great column a few years back about how France has never really been on our side since the Revolution..........I'll see if I can hunt it up.

They helped finance the Revolutionary War Was this because they liked the US or because they hated the English ?
