I think your head must be in a very dark place. The people of this country have traidtionally been Allies, friends and lovers of French people, food, wine, places and culture. Does the expression "Lafayette, we are here?" ring a bell? Do you recall why it was spoken? Do you think there is any connection between the French Revolution and our constitution? Culturally, do you think we owe anything to Descartes, Rousseau, Henri Bergson? Do you like the Statue of Liberty?

We became bitter about the French when they tried to protect their Elf Acquitaine oil contracts with Iraq by opposing the overthrow of Iraq by invasion.

As a result, a hate-mongering campaign was started and reflected by a small per centage.

A lot of smoke and noise, but as far as I know, the statement you make is comppletely off-base.
