Is it possible to find nice things to say about France without the ensuing discussion rapidly evolving into a U!S!A! U!S!A! U!S!A! discussion of health-care systems and such?

However, because of that, and the expense of trying to take it back from the revolutionaries, Napoleon sold Jefferson the Louisiana Territory, and thus we got New Orleans, a New World treasure house of music, almost equal to Havana.
