The French government is asking the nation what it means to be French, in what is being billed as a "Great Debate" against a backdrop of ethnic tension.

All French citizens are in principle invited to take part in a series of meetings across the country, lasting until January 31.

The country has seen smouldering unrest in immigrant-heavy suburbs, a movement to ban full Muslim veils, and questions over whether France's essential identity is vanishing in a complex world.

Vive la France,mon frere!Vive l'Acadie!

I read some comment about french general, man dont forgot Petain please. i am reading a book about french side in ww1. Petain make a miracle. He won battle which any "normal" general would lost

"And since Napoleon France has had General Leclerc & General Massu, who have proved to be verry skilled generals with pretty good results on the field."

Sorry, never heard of them! As I'm sure you know, Montgomery defeated probably the best General the Germans had, in Rommel.

BTW, your English is really good! Just wondered how you feel about the EU, now the Treaty of Lisbon has been accepted by the Irish?

Right, but there are still many english sharing nazis ideas alive in UK too (there were some during WWII including in your own government like in all european countries at this period).... We haven't had an as good general as Napoleon since 2 centuries, correct, but which country has had an as good general as Napoleon ? Britain with Montgomery ? I don't think so...
And since Napoleon France has had General Leclerc & General Massu, who have proved to be verry skilled generals with pretty good results on the field.

"VIchy is a 50 years old story whose the main actors have been hanged by the French upon the liberation"

50 years is nothing! There are still many French alive today who supported Vichy just as there are many German' alive still who supported Hitler.

In truth I dont really wish to argue with you but honestly a Frenchman slagging off the British army is beyond a joke!

Youve not had a descent general since Napoleon - & look what happened to him!

How long ? Not long indeed against a 100% wehrmacht, but still longer than the British Expeditionary Corps that fled leaving all its material to the germans whilst protected by the French army that fought until the end to slower the german advance and protect operation Dynamo...
But you do well to point out this fact : that's right the Battle of France a wasn't long fight, but it's been an intense fight... Proof is that 100,000 French soldiers died on the field, without speaking of civilian casualties... It makes more than the total british casualties of the Battle of England that lasted far longer than the Battle of France...
And as for the casualties suffered by germans during the short battle of France, figures are still higher than the casualties they suffered during the Battle of England, whether for the number of planes they lost or (obviously) the number of german soldiers KIA...

How long did France last out against Germany in WW2? How many French then became Vichy? A Frenchman slagging off the British Army?? LOL!
