And the reason why we haven't invaded and annexed France is...what, exactly?

Actually, keeping order among the French, restoring basic hygiene principles and reforming their Socialist state would likely be more difficult than what we're doing in Iraq at the moment....

Didn't the Baath Party start in France under Michel Aflaq?

[risk]

Didn't Ba'athism start in France by Michael Aflaq and Salah al-Din Bitar, both educated at the Sorbonne? Ho Chi Minh was in Paris just a bit earlier.

"The resurrection of the Ba'th Party on French soil was further strengthened by France's proposal that representatives of "la resistance" should participate in any future conference that will be convened to discuss the future of Iraq."

Anti-American Ba'th Activities in Paris (Are you surprised, coming from France?)

[Ciexyz]

All our boys that died on those Normandy beaches in WW II...and then we read about French treachery today...makes you want to puke.
