>>Look Pal, I have 3 FAMILY members in US MILITARY uniforms over there DEFENDING My Country's fellow citizens;

Bully for you; my Dad was fighting in North Africa when 99% of your countrymen had never heard of Pearl Harbor. So what?

In WWI, the USA didn't get involved until the Lusitania was sunk, killing American citizens. By that time, millions of French, British, Russians, Canadians, Australians and New Zealanders had died. In WWII, you didn't get involved until Pearl Harbor was attacked - again, 2 years after the war had started for France and Britain, and even more for Poland, Austria and points east. Your soldiers fought bravely once you did get involved, by all accounts; but you saw no reason to get involved in someone else's war when you weren't threatened as a nation. Why now get all high and mighty when the French exercise their sovereign right to keep their nose out of someone else's war?

I've no problem with humour; I like it. But Cyko's "joke" was insulting to members of this forum, and because of that, IMO, this is not an appropriate forum to post such material.

I'd prefer not to turn this into a flame war, so this will be my last post on the topic.
