I understood,somewhat, way Americans were angry right after that comfrontation at the UN. That was somrtime back,why are Americans so angry at France. ou don’t see this atitude tord Russia or Germany..,and the other coutries oposed to the invasion of Iraq. My name is French,there are very few people in this ciuntry,so people ask me what country my name originated in, I answer ,France. You would not believe the looks I get, you would think I was a traitor. I love the US, I also love France. Is that so bad? Lady Liberty is a French symbol,not Americann. Let’ overlook our differences and look at all we have in common,please before it’s too late.

Comment On You're not enemies
pug2: France is a small country (smaller than Texas), yet she had the balls to stand up and defy the "mighty and powerful" United States. That in itself made the Bush administration angry. Another thing to consider is the cultural signifigance of France. French culture reaches across the globe throughout the centuries. It is the culture of refinement, elegance and wonderful cuisine. Can you say the same thing about American culture? France’s prominance in Europe is a third aspect to consider. I would presume that a combination of jealousy and bruised ego is the reason Americans don’t like France.
Don’t forget the American media. They never resisit an opportunity to run negative articles about France and French culture. That doesn’t help the situation, either.
I also have a French name and I speak French, so I understand the traitor looks you receive. I’ve had people try to get me fired from my previous job 2 years ago because of my French heritage. so join the club!
