Default Happy Bastille Day!
Yeah, I know a number of you still have a bug up your butt about the French, but I feel we should all take a moment to wish them well. After all, they were our first friend, our first ally, and we may not be the nation we are today without their aid and assistance. Plus, what did they really do to lick the red off your candy anyway? They warned us not to get bogged down in the Middle East, just like they drew on their experience in Algeria and at Dien Bien Phu to warn us not to get bogged down in Africa and in Southeast Asia. You ask me, I'd say that's being a good friend, and to hell with saying only what one wants to hear.

OK, you can start the venting now.
