France, the U.S. and libert� or liberty?

To the French and to Americans, the two don't necessarily translate.

France will celebrate Bastille Day on Saturday. Like its sister republic on this side of the Atlantic, the French Republic will mark its liberation from the yoke of monarchical rule. But despite the shower of fireworks, parades and speeches in praise of liberty, don't be deceived. Just as America's red, white and blue is the mirror image of France's blue, white and red, libert� isn't quite the same as liberty, especially in the 21st century.
