Because we yanks get trounced upon, teased, poked, prodded, harrangued, villified (and a bunch of other unseemly bashing-oriented verbs I can't be bothered ty type out right now) all the time on this board. If you can dish it out.....

Timber, so far I know only Masklinn and myself as French members of this board, and I challenge you to find one post from either of us bashing the US.

And don't you think many of us French are not 'a bit upset' too at the US position ? From here, Bush and Powell look much like a couple of very bad mannered kids having a tantrum about having been denied a new toy, and in dire need of a good spanking ...
Luvya Ronn.
About WWII and De Gaulle. You don't seem to recall that there was a reason he became the uncontested leader after WWII : he had been organizing and directing the French underground resisting forces (the "Résistance"). I should know, my grandfather was an army Captain at the time, worked much for the Résistance - even got the "Légion d'honneur" (the highest civilian decoration) for his deeds during WWII.

Wutang, you too look to me as a brat with bad manners in need of a thorough spanking, if that is the kind of humour you enjoy. Has no one taught you courtesy ?
