I have some new-found respect for France, as they've finally decided to step into the foray on the War on Terror.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !

Si, man... previously, they were just a bunch of surrender-monkeys.

PARIS, July 14 - A Bastille Day fireworks display at EuroDisney outside Paris caused an entire French Army garrison to surrender to a group of visiting Czech tourists.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

On the bright side, France is one of 4 countries (that I can think of) with one-syllable names -- Greece, Spain, & Chad are the others. Chime in with any that I've missed, oui man.

  1. US ally (in name at least)
  2. Existence of France DID historically make a difference to American independence--but that was 234 years ago; current France (since 1919) no difference
  3. France is a pretend-power, and has been since way before 1919 (well-equipped, but never has the "stones" to conduct war)

Can we give them back Louisiana?

IK HOU VAN JOU, MARK

Take a large, almost round, rotating sphere about 8000 miles in diameter, surround it with a murky, viscous atmosphere of gases mixed with water vapor, tilt its axis so it wobbles back and forth with respect to a source of heat and light, freeze it at both ends and roast it in the middle, cover most of its surface with liquid that constantly feeds vapor into the atmosphere as the sphere tosses billions of gallons up and down to the rhythmic pulling of a captive satellite and the sun. Then try to predict the conditions of that atmosphere over a small area within a 5 mile radius for a period of one to five days in advance!

Ever notice whenever we declare war on something (poverty, drugs, etc) we fail miserably?

As to the poll, I don't think France has enough clout globally, or even within the EU community to be considered "powerful". Just look at their attempts to impose their will upon Apple and Microsoft. Mostly, they are a toothless tiger.
