I know this is a joke and all but France wouldn't stand a chance in hell against the US. We would defeat them before they reach our shores. But i hate war, so let's pray that this scenario never pans out.

I hope your city is visited first by Chirac and his freedom fighters to help liberate you. You sound like you are in severe need.

A NON, it IS a joke, so why would you even make that comment ??

We are talking France, after all. All the US would have to do is threaten to put up some resistance and the white flags would come out.

Oh no, monsieur Bush, please don't wreck our buildings and art. Come set up a puppet government here. Be our guest.

Great parody. It should help some Americans put things into a proper perspective. Take a look at yourself. That's what humor is all about.

>We would defeat them before they reach our shores. <p>I used to think so but now I wonder, since you can't even defeat Iraq. (You'll probably destroy it, but there's a subtle difference.) And France, remember...unlike Iraq...has a mittful of thermonuclear weapons <em>and</em> the widgets to deliver them.

Thanks Janis. I am the author and this "Parody" (France Invades US) and this is the first time I've read such a clear and simple explanation. Most of the emails I received are from those who miss the point (like the messages prior to yours) on how France could never be capable of attacking the US. The point of the essay is for Americans to feel what it would be like if the "boot was on the other foot." You simply stated in one sentence what took me six parts to try and explain. Regards, Jerry Ghinelli

Maybe if the French and Italians ganged up...maybe...just maybe you could take us...

Until then, I'll keep sleeping with your women and eating your fries.

America could not take Vietnam,Laos,Cambodia,Columbian Drug Lords,Canada:),and you sure as hell ain`t taken Iraq!All that military muscle appears to be useless.
PS;or North Korea.

Dear Jim. I am not the same anonymoose as above but I can plainly see the comment was in response to the above which was no more of a joke than the anon's response. Interestingly enough you did not make any statements directed at Schmidt about the article being only a joke and to lighten up. I personally think we all need to lighten up around here sometimes...including MOI!

Most obviously EVERYONE gets it. Because one Scmidt person attacks an anon and then gets backing from someone else proves what exactly to you? That some anal retentive French protectionist got it's panties in a bunch, attacked in retaliation, and then when it's victim "retaliates back the fellow French protectionist' dog pile the person? As IF your story isn't obviously a "parody". Maybe the fact that you had to come onboard to explain that it was a parody indicates a wee bit of insecurity on your OWN part? Hmmm. I didn't see anyone attacking your "work". And I am not attacking your "work". I am only attacking your attack on another fellow vive reader. I just didn't feel it was called for. Good luck to you, and I hope to read more of your series as it seems quite good actually ...

That's right punk Americanos! Take THAT! Our CANADIAN military might is to be feared with such immense intensity as to make JELLO jiggle! And we will always stand for our Motherland! La Francophonie! Vive vaciousness will defeat the evil ones! The mere sight of our site ...good one, eh? Will give you paws...and pause as well. But what of our Fatherland Britain? My...we are heretofore thrust upon the antlers of a dilemna...why us dear Lord? WHY US??? Our motherland divorced our fatherland..now they are fighting...what pray tell is a child to do??? My identity is in question...I don't know WHO to hate anymore...oh, yeah...those damned yankers! Let's give 'em hell! Then Putin! That'll cure 'em!
