		The phrase "France has lost a battle; she has not lost the war", which appeared on posters in Britain at the time, is often incorrectly associated with the BBC broadcast; nevertheless the words aptly capture the spirit of de Gaulle's position.
		De Gaulle believed that while the war in Algeria was militarily winnable it was not defensible internationally, and he became reconciled to the former colony's eventual independence.
		De Gaulle was convinced that a strong and independent France could act as a balancing force in the rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union, a policy seen as little more than posturing and opportunism by his critics, particularly in Britain and the United States, to which France was formally allied.

	BBC NEWS \| Talking Point \| Is France right to force a split on Iraq?
		France and Germany have caused an open split in the UN and Nato whilst causing long-term damage to transatlantic relations, all in open view of Saddam Hussein.
		How is it that France is willing to send troops to Ivory Coast, which is engaged in a rebel war but not willing to send troops to Iraq, which is ruled by a mad man. Furthermore, is it the USA that is engaging in isolationism or is it Belgium, France, and Germany.
		France has its own existing oil interests in Iraq, but I feel this "split" is a good thing, as people like Rumsfeld especially feel they can steamroller and bully the rest of the world into letting the US grab whatever they want worldwide whilst pretending to have the moral high ground.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Lace
		This includes every variety of needle-made or point lace made entirely without foundation, such as Venice and Spanish flat point and raised point, point de France, Alençon point, point de gaze, etc. However widely dissimilar these laces may be in their designs and styles of execution, they all come under the head of needlepoint lace.
		Daniel Rock has pointed out that the long strips of lacis and linen lace of early work, now sometimes found, were covers for the lectern; and this is confirmed by the fact that the figure subjects are usually worked across the width of the piece, as in a remarkable piece dating from the fifteenth century.
		Hollie, or holy, point is the only English distinctive needlepoint lace; this was principally used for infants' caps and other garments at baptism, and the Holy Dove, a pot with flowers reminiscent of the Annunciation, etc., were devices often used.

		However, with the successful implementation of individual voting in 1799, people could no longer debate the text to which they would be granting approval, and fraud became widespread.
		Voting by assembly allowed people to have greater influence over the decision-making process and also made fraud less likely than in the more “modern” system of individuals voting for particular candidates or responding yes or no to a referendum whose text was determined by the central authorities.
