Reply #203: Let us not forget what French Colonialism

[kywildcat]

has created over the years, including the support and fostering of the Ayatollah Khomeini to our detriment (and arguably the world), years of strife in Morocco and between Morocco and Mauritania (the Sahara comes to mind) and many other nations on the African Continent, not to mention VietNam, whom the French manipulated and played so badly the US was requested to come in, clean up and sacrifice.
I adore France. I work for the French, I respect their ability in debate, their chivalry and of course many of the cultural contributions.
I abhorrer their need to manipulate and label it diplomacy. Let us not forget the french role in the oil for food scandal.
While France has instituted many of the social ideals that we in the US crave, they ignore the mess they have made in many many countries. They are very quick to acknowledge our imperialism but not so quick to debate their own, and in this I would argue is a glaring rate of failure on their part.
Mes pensées humbles sur ce sujet.
La bonne Chance et bons Dieux Expédient.
