As a photo-retoucher I am going to have to disagree with #60. It could be VERY easy to doctor these photos. They look a little to sharp on the deges on the flag poles. They could be TWO photos (and they look like it) The Flags and the trees. As for the cork board, there is some slight blurring that you get when you clone a pattern.
Besides, I have been privy to the information that the country of France is planning a HUGE display of compassion and thanks to the American People on the 4th of July of this year. I can't really go into detail, but it is going to be a very poignant display of friendship. We should also remember that without the help of France in our Revoultionary war, England would have crushed the Revolutionaries. France provided much needed money AND warships.
Yes, I am a full-blooded American Patriot. I just believe that any country has the right to choose whether or not to go to war.
