You act as if this recent anti-French sentiment was the result of
recent activity by Chirac. I content that it is only the open
voicing of this opinion -- but that it has been privately held
for a very long time.

France, if you recall, kicked NATO out of the country.
France, if you recall, aggressively worked against US interests
in Vietnam.
France, if you recall, has for years been excessively rude to US
tourists.
France, if you recall, has for the last 20 years, aggressively
worked against US foreign policy at every opportunity.
France, if you recall, has worked very hard over the last three
decades to weaken the US dollar.
France, if you recall, thumbed its nose at the repayment of the
debts it incurred to the US in the aftermath of WWII.



Welcome to the real world!!
In the next lesson you'll learn that the methods you just described are
exactly the ones used:
a. by EVERY country in the world
b. especially by the US. How do you think the US made it to it's current
position after WWII??

P.S. Do you have any idea how egocentric your post was? Do you really think
the French treat only americans that way, or that only the French treat
amercicans that way? Pleeeeeeeeeease.
