Default The French contribution to America: Five billion Euro Dollars

One cliche that I get tired of reading on these pages is comments by xenophobic amercians saying things like what how dare the french not support us in the UN when we have stoped them from speaking german on two occasions.

It crossed my mind that well maybe there wouldnt even be a USA if it wernt for the french. I had no idea about there actual contribution to the USA in its war against the Brits.

Anyway this website seems to summarise it nicely.

what the frogs did for the yanks.

I've read that other places but not on this site as I recall but possibly. I think you have an axe to grind with xenophobic americans and not necessarily posters on this forum.

Do you know how little 5 Billion Euros is to a large prosperous country like France?

Very Little.

Just my 2 cents (the personal equivalent to 5 Billion Euros to France)

I've talked about this before. And I have said the French have bailed us out once before. The matter is a little more complicated that just staunch loyalty like many history books make them out to be. Benjamin Franklin, the man who was father of philadelphia in more ways than one, got along very well with the French. It's actually a very humorous annecdote, and I will post more later, i've got work to do!

Agghhhh!!!! 2+2 is so addictive, it's going to destroy me.

Do you think you just uncovered something? BTW, did you know the Statue of Liberty was a gift from France?

Go away with your stupid xenophobia crap.

Default Who Should Have Gotten the Contracts Instead of Halliburton

And if there should have been a competitive bidding process instead of a sole source effort who would have been the likely bidders?
