France was bought out and would not have supported an invasion, unless there was a major change in the political mindset in France.

Ted said:I think that people will continu trying to re-distribute the division of wealth as long as there are poor people in the world. Erradicate poverty and you'll finish the desire for socialism. But you know, just as I do, that this won't happen..... So the answer to your question will be; many many more times.
Then those people are idiots, and somewhere down the road they will pay the price. Just like Europe will pay the price. Just like those others that have gone before.Ted said:....

It has been tried in almost every country in the world over the last thousand years, and it's never worked well anywhere.
How many times does an idea have to fail before it's proponents finally admit that it's a bad idea?
