Warped you shouldn't be that proud of yourself really, its not like the 10 past years are of great success for you guys, you can blame the french all you want, it won't make up for your now long list of pretty much exclusivly failures, military as much as diplomatic ones. And you can always claim to save to world it doesn't help much either. At least you didn't blow all the globe with the Russian, thanks to JFK. I wouldn't even think how this could have turned if a guy like Bush was on the chair at that moment, would have been pretty fun for all of us. But since then really there is nothing really to be proud of, not a single thing.
And the Arc was made for the Austerlitz battle, they are Arc in every damn major cities all over Europe, it is an old Roman habit to build Arcs for a winning battle.
