   I've heard stories about French complaining that American tourists
   act like the French still owe us for coming to thier rescue.

   I've head stories about French critcizing anyone who uses thier
   forks concave side up.

   But I look at what France actually does, and I see they know there
   is a reason thier government made certain cemetaries legally US
   soil.

   Except for three attacks, killing a total of a few thousand
   people, Americans haven't had a war on out own soil since the
   1880s.  Most of us don't know what it's all about.

   And as long as we can fight our wars on somebody else's soil, I'm
   willing to be selfish enough not to complain.
