I know, before TV and the Internet movie theaters showed them during movie screenings. Today, they are a reminder of how much the world have changed certainly not for the better.

You're quite right. The downside is the rebellion ensured Algeria's devolution back to the 9th Century. Hmmm. History is repeating. Welcome to Islam!

A true Classic! Someone should send this video to the White House, Attention: Bush/Cheney, with the comment that the France in Algeria clip should be mandatory viewing. 51+ years later, another Western military power again bogged down in the Muslim world, and some people still don't get it. In the immortal words of the great Lawrence "Yogi" Berra, "It's deja vu all over again"!!
