I wonder if the irony is lost on the French and the world leaders in attendance that holding the ceremony at the Arc de Triomphe is akin to acknowledging Nepoleon’s quest to rule the world? Also that without US involvement in the outcome of the war there would not have been an armistice ending the war as it ended and Germany would likely have ruled most all of Europe.
Why not hold the ceremony at say Redonthes where the armistice was signed? |
My note to Moron, uh Marcon, the short definition of patriotism is the love for or devotion to one's country, and nationalism is the loyalty and devotion to a nation.
Pretty much the same thing. Wanting the best for your country if other friendly countries benefit, well that is fine as long as it doesn't cost us anything.
