France wasn't completely useless during WWII. Their North African colonial men did will in Italy and France '44 and '45. It's only because of the admittedly horrible defence in '40 that we think of them as useless, cheese-addicted, funny-speaking, smug and ugly bastards.[/quote]

I think any nation in France's position in 1940 would probably have had their clocks cleaned by the Germans with their Blitzkrieg bop. Britain was saved by the channel, the Russians by, well, Russia and US by the Atlantic.

That Corsican general again. :p

Let's see Napoleon wasn't French, he was Corsican.

Hitler wasn't German, he was Austrian.

Stalin wasn't Russian, he was a Georgian.

Interesting pattern.:hmm: Don't know if it means anything.

No. But Churchill was half-American by birth.

Would've been hard to lose that one.

I have a feeling that a lot of the French - hating going on in the state is remnant of the hardcore propaganda that was going on around the initial invasion of Irak in '03. Remember, people pouring wine down sewers and all that.

WWII took everybody with their pants down, anyway...
