French Ban Fireworks at Euro Disney

(AP), Paris, March 5, 2003

The French Government announced today that it is imposing a ban on the use of fireworks at Euro Disney. The decision comes the day after a nightly fireworks display at the park, located just 30 miles outside of Paris, caused the soldiers at a nearby French Army garrison to surrender to a group of Czech tourists.

about 3 million - dead; another 3 million severely wounded.
1914-1918

why bother to know the facts, it only ruins a funny line.

just shows Rep. Blount is ignorant of history - European and Mid East.
