Guardian Unlimited | World dispatch | Know thine enemies 'I assured him he need not worry, the Iraqis were not about to mount an invasion on California. Yes, he said, but what about the French?

It was only when I was about to tell him that French troops were already making their way south from Quebec and that Napoleon was confident they would be in Long Beach by Easter that I realised he was serious.

There has certainly been a lot of silliness about the French in the media here of late, but I had not realised some people thought the US was at war with them as well as the Iraqis.'

Well, if people believe Iraq was behind 11 Sept, why not? Apparently they'll believe anything.
