You liked Chirac's speech??? He basically ignored the US listing almost every other country who even thought about the war. Then he went on to say what a great job the Free French did and how woundedrful it is to have a one world order of peace guranteed by the UN!!! Give me a break already. This was just another effort by the effete French to try and suggest that they are important and that the US isn't. The reality is that US bore the brunt of freeing a dying Europe and saving Western Civilization. The only other countries who ponied up willingly were in fact the British Empire. While the Russians fought in the East it was to prevent German expansion not to return freedom to those enslaved. AS usual modernist revision is rife...To hell with France To hell with Chirac and frankly the rest of the worlkd can do what it wantsd. If we need to go it alone so be it...I thought the only portion that was moving and honest was the standing ovation that the heroes of DDay received
Yeah, I noticed those things too. It just could not upset me given the context.
