What do we sound like to you
I am just curious. What do the French think we sound like when we speak? I quess we kind of think the French sound kind nasal and fluidly rough, if that makes since. What do Americans ssound like to the French? Or if you are from any another country you could answer this question as well, just be sure to tell us what country you are from. This could be very interesting. It might help us understand our cultures better.
French PM accused of terror "hype" before polls
Rivals of French Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin accused him on Thursday of exaggerating the terror threat facing France in a bid to win support ahead of key regional polls this weekend.
Opposition Socialists said he sought to exploit a climate of fear after the Madrid train bombings by publishing a threat to France made by a shadowy Islamic group whose authenticity has since been questioned. Raffarin allies issued vehement denials. Manipulating the issue could backfire as it did in Spain, they warned. Although Raffarin’s government is not at stake in the polls, a voter backlash could force a cabinet reshuffle.Easter in Arles

French forces nearly captured Bin Laden — perhaps several times
Osama bin Laden narrowly escaped capture by French troops working with American forces in Afghanistan, perhaps several times, the head of France’s armed forces said Monday.
French soldiers are determined to capture the fugitive head of the al-Qaida network by the end of the year, Gen. Henri Bentegeat said Monday.
‘‘Our men were not very far,’’ Bentegeat told France’s Europe-1 radio station. ‘‘On several occasions, I even think that he slipped out of a net that was well closed.’’
Bentegeat did not say when or where the escapes took place and a Defense Ministry spokeswoman declined to give details.
Trial of French rock star begins
On the first day of his trial for killing Marie Trintignant, French rock star Bertrand Cantat on Tuesday admitted that he tussled with his movie-star girlfriend in a Vilnius hotel last July, but insisted her death was a tragic accident.
“We loved each other and our love was growing,” the 40-year-old told a three-judge panel in testimony lasting over an hour at the District Court in Vilnius, Lithuania’s capital.
Cantat did not enter a clear not guilty plea to the manslaughter charge, something that is not required in the Baltic state’s judicial system.
He faces a maximum 15-year jail sentence, with the judges expected to hand down a verdict and sentence this week.
