???Vote before you read this please.
Well I may not like the french very much because they backed out on certain issues like Iraq, but even I have to admit that they have the best anti-terrorism teams in the world. In fact they even have a guy who is both a prosecutor and the judge in his terrorist cases. So it he as an prosecuter wants a warrent or search order, he the judge can simply approve it no questions asked. He also has the power to hold suspects for up to 4 days, while in the united stated it is only 1day without sufficient evidence. The first day the scum doesnt even get an attorney. We need that kind of power in our gov. to beat these terrorists.

Well I think the french have the right to back out, we cant force a country to give up soldiers lives, as for best anti terrorism theyre good but the swiss guard are better.

HELLBERG SHOULD DIE! IF YOU DON'T MIND THAT IS RACIST. if you said that about blacks or mexicans that would be considered a generalization, thus racist. The french gov't is probably one of the best in the world. If you thought more people would die than live why would you keep going? Knowing when to get out of a bad situation is part of having a successful military and gov't. SO THERE!
And you can't help others if you can't help yourself first!

Now heres south parks view on this its racist to make fun of someone from being from a certain country but its okay to make fun of a person for living in that country, or making fun of its government, personaly I like france the only thing I hate is that its government can be stuborn sometimes, like not allowing fast food in their country etc. etc. but hey its their country so I dont really care. (and maybe france has the right idea, mc donalds could be trying to conquer the world and when they do france would be like "We told you so" and they would be the only ones not under mcdonalds control so in the end they would win ) France had the right to choose not to go to war, America can only put its own soldiers at risk not other countries.

to debate a nation is ok, but I will not allow you to debate something about the people, steriotyping the people from or of a nation is bad, so just make sure to debate the nation and the positions they take rather than the people.
France has been one of the strongest nations in almost every situation. 600's, martel the hammer haulted the muslum advance, if they had not, europe would have been decided by mecca policy rather than roman ones. 800's challimeng (ya, I know its spelt wrong) creates the first major empire to spawn up since rome, sets the codes and standards that shape the next 700 years of warfare. First crusade, led by the french, scond crusade, led, again, by the french, Hundred Years War, after years of fighting and british unlawful holdings, Joan of Arc leads the french through many victories keeping the british out once and for all. Medeval inventions/Europe first use: Steal armor, Arquebusier (the first effective handheld gun), gunpoweder, Arbalest, Trebuchet, The Cheveleir (knights), Culverin (one of the first effective cannons), Many sword improvements, and more. Then Gunpoweder age, they lead the way in many innovations, including the bayonette (which was a HUGE and imidiate invention on par with teh machine gun). they were one of the 3 biggest colonie holders with extensive holdings in africa, asia, and america. They invented the Dragoon, they developed gurrilla warfare at this time also. Hosted many wars with spain england and parts of the holy roman empire durring louis XIV. then became the world's most powerful empire under napolian, requireing 4 nations to remove them, yet still they remained a superpower after that. The most powerful allie in WWI, holding off almost the entire focus of the larger, richer, and most technilogically advanced nation in germany. WWII, only nation to recieve the entire forcus of the german military, repeatedly hurt germany after their defeat through gurrilla warfare. contributed the 3rd most to germany's defeat (after soviet and british). they did fall quickly against the germans, but no nation on earth could have held against all of germanies army, russia, who also had a large standing force, could bairly hold on against 2/3 of germanies surviving forces, and that was after being prepaired for the new tactic, and having miles of barren snow land to protect them. had america or britian been connected to germany by land, they would have fallen to germany also. Now, they have one of the best military forces in the world, only after UK, US, and Russia. they also boast one of the msot advanced aircraft, land vehicles, and gun manufacturers in the world. Top that off with the best Special Forces crew, and you have a nation of strong fighters.

I merely wanted to see what everyone thought about the French, while pointing out an important fact. The french do fight the terrorists, and well.

Well whats sad is this whole French are ninnies thing was started hundreds of years ago it is just because in napoleonic times the french had funny little uniforms, but who cares because with Napoleon they conquered almost all of europe. But as gamerman pointed out their military are top notch, and theyre forces may be somewhat small but they are armed with the latest technology/training like the swiss guard I just dont approave of their government.

just look at the topic name, it says France, not the french, the poll question is wrong, be we can't modify that, so just pretend its the topic name instead.

It was just misworded, but its quite obvious he was talking about the french government so it should be okay as long as it doesnt veer towards racism.
