So its out of date again
Speaking of which:

Seems a bit far-fetched though.
I'm not really defending the French and their actions. To be honest, I think you're both as bad as each other. I just think the French bashing is often not that well founded, and its a bit hypocritical to refer to French actions as being self-interested (as they generally appear to have the result (if not the intention) of opposing the self-interested acts of the US). Pot calling kettle black, I say.
My diluted French blood must make me argue. The Baudinet name left France just before the turn of the 18th century, suspiciously around Revolution time. But I guess I am still a cheese-eating surrender monkey.
