Here you go.........an interview with author, John J. Miller with Front Page Magazine about his book Our Oldest Enemy .......

Here's an excerpt....

People always wonder about the period of the American Revolution, but it was an anomaly, and even then it’s poorly understood--the French entered the war for entirely self-interested reasons and behaved treacherously toward the Americans during the peace talks. There’s a lot more to it than Yorktown.

Food for thought, at least.

Good point.

Not really. Your original point was well stated and very accurate. To argue with what you had written is just arguing semantics. I'm no Francophile but they without France's help, their wouldn't be a United States today. Of course we paid through the nose to get their help and they were largely motivated to help us only as a way to stick it to the British.
