FREEDOM WHINE.
External link:
I saw this politician on TV who I didn't recognize the other day, complaining about the French again for their opposition to the war. Mangling the cliche, he said "If it weren't for us, they'd all be speaking French." Of course, he meant to say that if it weren't for us, they'd all be speaking German, and that's probably true. But it occurred to me that there is way too much truth in his misstatement. If it weren't for us Americans, they would all be speaking French, instead of English.
And, then again, if it weren't for the French, we Americans would all still be British subjects, so what about that?
This is The Official Record.
