I'm not French, but I am cultured and have a degree in history...
I should be writing this in French, but because I want most to understand it, and the very slim hope that an American can speak another language, I'll write in the Queen's tongue.
Why would anybody hate the French? Especially from the USA?
They invented democracy, movies, financed your revolution against Britain, gave you your statue of liberty, sold you all of the land west of the Mississipi...shall I go on? Without France, it's very doubtful that the USA would have gained their independence from Britain.The French, along with other Europeans just know the cost of war more than any American. They know what war is, and what it's like to be occupied, and live in fear of bombing erveryday.
Just so happens, the French almost conquered all of Europe a couple hundred years ago. Moreso than those Nazi wussies. If anyone has anexcuse to hate the French it's Africa and SE Asia from their colonial exploits.
