An apology to our allies.

I Do not think I took you 'out of context' here, other than on the fact of Truman signing an 'official' end to the state-of-war in 1951

Be fair, the sovereignty was granted 4 years after that and the final peace treaty was only signed 23 years ago.
Though I think he missed that last treaty altogether

It's electrifying still to see him on that favorite Fenian currency and international medium of exchange...the $ C-note no euros fer me BBY!

Ah, but I was referring to his employment as a British government spy against the British terrorists and their French allies, before he joined those other British terrorists and the French against the British government.

Because while it sounds like something that might have happened, I've read two good biographies on Franklin and I don't recall that. That could be my memory, or it could be because both authors left it out. I'd just like to know.

And when you claim something, you should have facts in hand.
