Don't hyperventilate. Just because some of our foreign friends disagree on Iraq,,
it doesn't mean they have no respect for us as a people. We're still friends
with France, our oldest ally.
The problem where France is concerned too many Americains buy into Bushs hate France campaign. France might be the US's oldest ally but if we go by what seems to be the general feeling in the US they are its newest enemy and Why because France said no to Bush on Iraq. Here is an interesting quote about Frances participation in "the war on terror".
Quote:
In the aftermath of the September 11 attacks in the U.S., France played a central role in the war on terrorism. French forces, including the Charles de Gaulle carrier battle group, participated in Operation Enduring Freedom. French troops also took part in the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) for Afghanistan.
