French terror alert level raised
Reuters News Agency; Date: 03/23/2004 7:47:17 AM Pacific Standard Time
API and UPI report that the French Government announced today that in light of the Madrid bombing, France has raised it's terror alert level from "run" to "hide."
The only two higher levels in France are "surrender" and "collaborate."

LOL... 
Frenchies... 
In their defense, they do have some pretty women.
Might be a bit hairy sometimes and there's a pretty good chance their kinda stinky, but pretty nonetheless.

They probably still haven't forgiven you for being late arriving at WWII Lizzie!
Long memories the French when it suits them, but they've managed to forget that we lost the bulk of our young male population helping them fight in WWI and WWII. Never support us now!

That would be like forgiving water for being wet. The French are, well, French. No need to forgive them.
Besides, one my coolest war artifacts is French. It's a French rifle. Never used. Dropped once, unfortunately.

Related story.
I am not sure of the date of this story.
_____________________________________________
France voices objections to placing Hamas and Islamic Jihad on the European Union's list of terror organizations, ynet reported Monday.
Diplomatic advisor to President Chirac, Maurice Gourdault-Montagne, is quoted to have said to the Israeli ambassador in France, Nissim Zvilli, that there is no proof that these two organizations are terror groups. "If we find that Hamas and Islamic Jihad are indeed terror groups opposed to peace, we may have to change the EU's stand," said Gourdault-Montagne. "However, we mustn't limit ourselves to one, clear cut, position."

The French are.......The French... probably because of Wellington. The little corporal didn't directly meet him until Waterloo. Couldn't beat him in Spain either.
They ain't never gonna forgive you tea-swilers.

However unpopular this may be:
If it weren't for the French helping us out during the revolution, the US would have still been a bunch of British colonies at least until after WWII when India, etc. gained independence.
How soon we forget.

If Marie Joseph Paul Yves Roche Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette and friends hadn't shown up at Valley Forge, Washington would have been totally screwed. Congress felt his services were worth a reward of $200,000.00. That was a lot of money back then.
http://www.ushistory.org/valleyforge/served/lafayette.html
In 1824, Lafayette made a triumphant return to the United States, where he was feted wherever he went. When he returned to France, he took with him a plot of American soil, within which he was buried in 1834.
And without the french fleet and troops, Cornwallis would not have surrendered:

And please, let's don't forget about this:

And Jonny, man, I hate to break this to you, but your beloved skull & crossbones flag is french in origin:
The "original" skull-and-crossed-bones was credited to a French buccaneer, Bartholomew Roberts, in the mid 1600s. Various other emblems - crossed-cutlasses for example - were used by later pirates.
Pirates hanged at Newport, Rhode Island in 1723 called their flag 'Old Roger', which was an early 18th century nickname for the Devil. And, yes, in thieves slang, rogues were called "rogers". But why "jolly" ?
Bartholomew Roberts was nicknamed "Le Jolie Rouge", and in English this was used to refer to the flag and not the man.
