A French wag recently commented at this site that “we [the French] civilised much more persons in our long history life than you can ever dream of for your own sake, lot of them revendicated independance with the freedom motto too”

I look at places like Haiti, New Orleans, Montreal, the Congo or Cote d’Ivorie, Vietnam, Guiana, Algeria, Benin, Niger, Chad, Sudan, or Mali and marvel at the “revendicated independance with the freedom motto too”.

La mission civilitrice. Mostly mission sans la civilitrice…

LOL.
