Not real up on my French, but I think what you said had something to do about the French helping us fight for our independence. If my interpretation was correct, yes that is true, no we haven't forgotten that either. It's still taught in our history classes. But what seems to have been forgotten by the younger generations in France, is that we fought to help maintain French independence twice in the 20th century. The military cemetaries there as you well know are filled with American soldiers who dies so that France would remain free. I think what angers most Americans most, is tha the younger generation in France is spitting on that memory and the government in Paris doesn't care.

But that was over 200 years and several wars ago. America has more than paid that debt. Why are the Frence trying to undo us now? That is my question.
