Well, I suppose that we simply disagree. Yes, I do believe that we owed France a debt due to their assistance during the Revolutionary War. However, I believe that we repaid that debt during our assistance during World War One. With that in mind, I believe that they should be somewhat compliant to our wishes after taking into consideration our helping them regain their country during World War Two. Just my opinion, mind you.

Well, I'm obviously not going to persuade you, but I'd ask you to consider whether the French (and the rest of Western Europe) owed a similar debt to Josef Stalin. After all, he inflicted massive casualties on the Reich's eastern frontier, and no amount of American assistance would have availed France had the Soviets failed to withstand the German invasion.

But this could go on forever...If you are interested in reading more on WWI, I'd highly recommend a book called Leftism Revisited by the Austrian conservative Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn. Our own William F. Buckley once praised him as "the world's most interesting man."
