please stop bashing France

I don't know what are your references, but they certainly aren't to be
trusted. Try Le Monde for example : arguably the best daily available in
France, which is center-oriented, the most serious one. Not once, since
the beginning of the war and since 9/11 did I read articles that were
speaking of the US as the root of all evil on Earth....Now you figure

I'll admit something to please you : many ppl in France disagree with
the US position on Iraq, some quite violently. However, a lot of this
flaming comes from the lower, less-educated France (in my opinion).


I guess summing up most of France's media as "lower" and "less educated"
is pretty appropriate, then.

What the hell do you think the US have done for the past 50 years ?
Asked other countries if they would like to discuss matters around a cup
of tea at the UN ?

Totally unacceptable from a supposed "friendly" nation.

Yes, and the decision by the mayor of Paris to name a convicted
American cop killer as an honorary citizen was what?

Souind bizarre -- do you have details?

Pff. The gay, socialist mayor of Paris made Mumia Adbu Jamal (spelling?)
an
honorary citizen.

Correct spelling is Mumia Abu-Jamal.

Seems to me he was making a point against the death penalty and
against perceived miscarriages of justice in the USA.


Absolutely, but as someone here said previously, we might as well start by
helping the innocent convicts on death-row. Even better, we could focus on
making our judicial system better than it is today.
The Paris city council is pretty critised since the socialist/green
coalition won the elections 2 years ago.
Then again, sollciting MAJ isn't like helping nazis out of Germany.
Some people here should try to relax!

Chirac's statement was a rather poor one but there was no "if they wanted to
be granted admission to the EU" part. France alone does not have the power
to forbid countries to enter the Union and the idea probably not even
seriously crossed Chirac's mind.



France may not have the ability to stop admission by themselves, but the intent
was clear; support the US and lose French support for EU admission.

You'll have to be specific in an instance where the United States of America
attempted to subvert another *friendly* nations foreign policy goal(s) simply
for the effect of subverting those goals.

Are you seriously denying that there was a French bashing campaign in
the US?

Yes. There was not, by any stretch, a campaign to bash the French for
their pathetic actions of this year.

Call me paranoid,

Okay, you're paranoid.

Glad that's settled.

Read the editorials, especially the editorial cartoons.

Some of those were, quite frankly, insane.

I wonder how long it'll take for ****wit to learn elementary

Ah, grammar equates to culture, I hadn't realized that.
