Haven’t we had enough of the French bashing threads?

I think that any country, no matter how much they “owe” use, are allowed to have their own opinions. Esp. as a country is made up of individuals, most of whom are not responsible for the atrocities (or failures) their gov’t committed (Germany _cough_ France…)…many, many years ago.

Please, for the love of fromage, can we stop…?

Estilicon-  
Would it be safe to say you read few, if any, of the posts in this thread following the OP?

If you had, you might have noticed the post in which I stated I never intended the OP as a factual historical treatise.

Admittedly, I should have stated right up front in said OP:

“Although I found this humorous, **THIS IS NOT A FACTUAL HISTORICAL TREATISE!!!** ”

and your [cite](http://www.lbdb.com/TMDisplayBattle.cfm?BID=250&WID=57)? I find it interesting that the forces engaged are listed as

Muslim: 80,000  
Frank: 0

This is the pit, so bash me, but at least bash me with decent cites.
