Kisscool,
I have nothing against France or its people. We are all humans. I read the article that you posted and it seemed to me that the writer really did not like the U.S. If you are a reporter you are "supposed" to write the truth, at least that is what I think should happen. The writer should also be neutral and not try and persuade the readers with their own opinions, the truth should speak for itself. Of course, there are reporters all of the world that do this. If you talk about a country and start off by stereotyping or calling its people names, that in my opinion is not the right way to report. Maybe he took something someone said and made it bigger than it seemed. Everyone is mad about something and they all have to tell the world about it. As far as I am concerned and my friend and relatives, I would never want or anything remotely close to happen to france as your title stated.



p.s. not to try to gloat or in any way am I trying to make fun of or belittle France or its peoplem but maybe he is just mad that the U.S. did better in the World Cup or that Lance won the Tour de France again. I don't know just a theory. =)
