it's not inherently offensive
Seriously... this sounds like all the bad jokes regarding France and it's fighting. How is France more of a "crossroads of invasion" compared to other places in the world? I changed "invasion" to "movement" but my edit was reverted. Shall I try again? [[User:Rockthecasbah|Rockthecasbah]] 23:20, 10 May 2008 (EDT)

: And I've reverted it again! It would have been better to wait for an answer before reinstating your change, but apart from that, I'm not sure why it said "invasion". The whole sentence is rather non-specific. The main reason I reverted is because by changing it to "movement", it's even more non-specific (what sort of movement?) and probably simply duplicates "travel", already in the sentence. Perhaps Joaquin (who reverted you the first time) can add some thoughts? [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 23:34, 10 May 2008 (EDT)

::That word was introduced in the edit in which the information from the CIA World Factbook was copied and pasted into the article, so it was not intended as vandalism. I might also add that Afghanistan is another nation that is often referred to as a center of invasion due to its strategic location, and it's not meant to be inherently offensive.
