Different war maybe...French helped in the Revolutionary War and later to some smaller extentent in the Civil War. The exact details are not available at my fingertips at the moment....and as well it's late. Don't know about the War of 1812, but now plan to go learn about that one better. Found a new history topic to explore! Thanks Ravells :)

Have time to read during my travels...

War of the Independence of Texas is a whole other football match. Texas was an independent country, a Republic, for 11 years, after gaining its independence from Mexico. In my opinion it's some very colorful and fascinating history. You have to read a lot of sources though because there are at least two sides to every history...particularly when it deals with such topics.

I think the French have always been in favor of whatever they perceive as being detrimental to the United States.  It seems that the more the United States does for France (which has historically been a lot) the more resentful they are of us.  The French are like a spoiled teen and we are the affluent, doting parent.  I think the French need an American administered buttwhipping.  Open up a fresh can of whoopass on them.  Bill O'Reilly is offering a "Boycott France The Spin Stops Here" bumper sticker.  You may preview his site at billorielly@foxnews.com  this is also a great place to offer up your supportive comments for the only non biased news outlet in the world.  Thank you God for Rupert Murdoch,  Thank you God for Bill O'Rielly.

8 hours bottle to throttle...if you are the pilot.

Commercial flight...don't make any jokes about explosives. Get on board, sit down, be quiet, sleep some, arrive nicely, disembark, collect baggage.

I work in Aviation insurance....I know how planes crash.

It's what I do for a living.

I know (logically) that's it's the safest form of transport, but it just scares me to death. But if I'm in the cockpit, I'm fine.

oh shreck it....... at least I wont have Saw on my six.
