Yea just keep making fun of every nation that doesn't agree with the USA. You think you can take on the world? I can't wait for the day when americans realise they are no longer the major world power. Don't you think enough people hate americans already? Why do you keep acting to reinforce their perceptions? Well, you are going to need a tremendous amount of patience, the US will be the preeminent world power for many years to come. You should be thankful that the major world power is not Russia, China, or France. Al Minyard |

Yeah, that making fun of other countries is so bad for their self-image. They could get a complex or something. You think it's a joke, how easily you forget the events of 9/11. So France and the French support terrorists? Not terribly surprising. Al Minyard |

Actually if you take the number of countries for and against Iraqi Freedom both the current 15 EU and the post-2004 enlargement EU was FOR the US. The French the Germans and the Belgians are a funny bunch of people that can make good food (except for the Germans of course..) but they still live the lives of forgone colonial powers. take care lekomin inc We certainly are grateful for the support of the Polish people and their Government. I am afraid that the use of terms such as "euro-wieni" etc have become associated with the French to the point where they are used interchangeably. Please forgive this usage, we certainly do not include the Poles in the reference. Al Minyard |

m... Are you seriously denying that there was a French bashing campaign in the US? I read a lot the US press avalaible on the Internet and believe me, there was such a campaign! And for some (fewer and fewer every day to be honest) it's not even over yet... According to me, the most infamous piece was Ron Marr's article titled "Why I hate the French". Just an excerpt : "[...] The French eat horse. They eat glands. They eat bugs. I know this because they rarely brush their teeth. Their women whine and complain and braid their armpit hair. Their men are beret-wearing twig-boys with bad complexions. All French people consider themselves intellectually superior, and I suppose they are if the comparison is to an incontinent house cat. Give them two minutes and they will inevitably rave of their sexual prowess, which is a little like Christopher Reeve bragging about his speed in the 40 yard dash.[...]" The rest at : http://www.americandaily.com/item/1287, but you probably already had a good laugh reading it before. OK, that kind of bs was not on the front page of the LA times, of the Dallas Morning News or the Washington Post but it is printed in many local papers throughout the country and reach million people. OK, the vast majority of these people of course don't take it for word, but it spreads hatred and distrust. For instance, how many of your fellow citizens actually think, beyond any odds and despite the lack of evidence and the denials, that France actually supported and helped SH's regime *against* the US?

You don't see much European anger about slavery in the Arab world, or harsh treatment of Christians in China or the Middle East. *You* don't see that because you don't look, either that or because CNN doesn't tell you. Though how about taking a look at how China (a billion Communists no less) is a "favoured trading partner" of the US? How about how the US ran to the aid of oppressive Saudi Arabia and totalitarian Kuwait in 1991 also? People in glass houses and all that... Si |

... That's interesting, because most Americans found the Europeans (minus the British of course) behavior before, during and even now after IRAQI FREEDOM offensive. Is that before or after all the Americans realised their government had lied (or been so unbelievably badly informed) on the existance of WMDs? Regardless of how well the removal of Saddam Hussein has gone, the pretence for war was to remove a clear and present chemical and/or biological threat. It's kind of clear there wasn't one, which was France's opinion all along (and the reason for the veto against the stated reason for war) and now all those offensive vetoing nations have been proved right. Isn't it time Bush made an apology to the French people for all the slurs his politicians and populace have so mistakenly made, live on international TV? :^) Si |
