#1 de Gaulle was the worst thing that happened to France in the 20th century. Both Churchill and Eisenhower hated the impudent bastard. However, FDR favored holding the peacock up by his jockstrap to allow the French nation to rebuild some pride after their hideous performance in the war.One of FDR's serious mistakes. Another was giving birth to the United Nations. An abominable failure just like the League of Nations before it.

#5 This is a lesson to liberal democracies. If the dominant elite and media frustrate the public with anti-historical drives, the masses will ultimately find the right leaders to produce the change

I'll pray right through November, 2008 that Mr. Phares is correct.
