Point taken. I'd hate to see the United States invaded by France.
As for the side driven on, it's my understanding (meaning somebody told me a long time ago, and I've never found any reason to challenge it...never found any reason to believe it either, but that's a different story) that the English knights would ride their horses to the left so the sword hand would be facing a potential enemy.
Americans drive on the right mainly because the British drive on the left.:p
