Few non-Americans really give a damn about our revolution. At the very least I could simply have meant "our" as American. It really is not that much.


Yes, BUT, that was not within the same agency as helped us out during the revolution. We were not helped by the french lower and middle classes so much as we were by other parts of their system. The fact that our idea caused revolution in France is not strange as it provides an example to people who desire being free from some tyrant, this does not mean some close kinship. Especially given the fact that the French were not extremely kind after the revolution, and were not afraid to use Americans for their purposes. The nicest thing done was the louisiana purchase and that was a measure of mutual self-interest as Napoleon wanted money for his war.

I think they should be called "traitor tots".

now that you put it in that perspective, its even worse.

When asked to comment on her rumored return to France, Lady Liberty only had this to say:

lol ^

agreed, but my point was that it wasnt JUST abut revenge for ALL of the participants, sorry i dident make that clear



a. Louis xvi was not a tyrant
b. i never said you where close i meant that the French people did care abut your cause as it was there own




Napoleon looked out for Napoleon similar to most nations and leaders

Not really. All it shows is that we have idiotic politicians. Not only that but it also disconnects the relation between renaming things and totalitarianism as the countries that did this were democracies and stayed democracies. Really, I do not fear a 1984 world at all because I know the greater context of it, we had a greater threat back in, or before, the cold war of falling to totalitarianism.

Some were idealists, however, democracy isn't the French cause.

They did kill him though because they didn't think that he was acting in a just manner. I might simply be using the word tyrant lightly as I do not like kings. The issue here though is that France did not really behave in a manner indicating that love during the years after the revolution. There was a rough area that seems to show us as worse allies then one would try to paint us as.


Of course he did, however, I simply wanted people to remember that these acts were not some great movement of closeness.
