At best, the taly is really 1-1. We yanks arrived too late in WW1. At best, we shortened the war and gave the French and brits the ability to be spiteful as hell in versailles. Clearly we recued them in WW2. Wegev the French lots of money in Indochina but undermined them politically, we pulled the rugg from under them in Suez and were no too understanding in Algeirs. As for the Cold War, well, too complicated to count.

Hmm, wait, I just attempted to giev some intelliegent analysis for Ted..sily me, he won;t possibly really think about it ananlytically. Must remember not to expect too much....

Plus the french were undermining our efforts in the Civil War and they attempted to take over the Capitol of Mexico City.

The Mexican calvary made short work of them on May 5. And the U.S. also then sent in men and supplies to aid the Mexicans to push the French off the continental part of North America for good.

the French are just lucky we were involved in a civil war or we'd really have to kick their ass.

So they owe us for that one too.

Okay, I have to be honest.

The penile reduction surgery went well. I don't have to worry about tripping over myself now.

How was that microscope project you are working on going?

Maybe Diss, you should read up On Napoleon III's attempt to create a Mexican Empire with Maximillian at its head.

Well Teddy, if we can get the resolution just right, we might be able to see your brain. Its a slim hope, but it might be possible.

I don't think you'd be able to understand it if you did.

Lemme read some Voltaire and put it into some book theory and then maybe it might make sense.

Hey, let's not forget that Nappy kept enough British troops held in Europe that Brits and Canadians only kicked Yankee ass in 1812 instead of ravishing it completely.

Besides, considering that America pretty much screwed France over with that whole Suez Canal thing, it's only good and proper for France to screw US over the Iraq thing.

You are right Ted, I have always had a trouble with imaginary things, imaginary numbers, your brain, trolls, etc.

But enough of this good natured riff, care to comment or do you stick by your "numbers"?

That's my point. They shouldn't have been doing that.

They're really lucky we didn't come in and kick their ass.

They owe us for not kicking their ass.

Amusing to think that in those times we were protecting the world oil roads, and that you where not (or much less) dependent on arab oil. Now we are much less dependant (75% of electricity nuclear) and you much more.

But I am sure that you have plans to reduce your dependency.

Oh, and thanks for protecting the chocolate.
