France is not the only EU country who support Muslim. I think that UK is the only EU country who doesn't support Muslim.

I heard that most of the Italian tropps will be send to Lebanon, because they are closer to the Lebanon. It is no need for other EU tropps to be in there.

Scarlett: You said you don't like weakness. Do you like the attitude of people who ran Enron in USA? I mean the American attitude to be "strong" and in meantime to destroy all the weak (employers, innocent people) in the name of money and power.

They hate France for not joining them against Iraq. The Americans claim they pulled France outta the ****-pile in 2 World Wars (rightfully so). But don't forget if it wasn't for France and the greatest American, Ben Franklin, there would not be a United States of America.

I'm American and I don't hate France. I love France. We've been there a few times and will go even more while still living in Europe. We've found the poeple to be very nice, even though the American mindset is that they are rude. I think they have the right not to agree with us, and some of the people do agree with the US and do support our war despite their government not sending troops in to Iraq (which they had every right to decide). Yeah, they have a great history, but so does America, some good and some bad, so I don't think we have anything to be jealous of there.

Americans don't hate France or the French. Thoughtful Americans and those who know history admire and respect France and consider them to be among our greatest friends and allies.
The Americans and the French agree on far more issues than we disagree on. However, the agreements don't make the news very often. (They're not controversial.)
France made the United States possible by defeating General Cornwallis at the Battle of Yorktown...in addition to additional immeasurable assistance during our American Revolutionary War.
Americans find the history and culture of France almost without rival. The French gift of the Statue of Liberty is one of our greatest treasures...and so on.
Some of the rivalry is simply good-natured competition amongst friends (much like Canada vs. the U.S.)
Other disputes are more serious...but they're political and sometimes friends simply disagree on some matter or another.
I have friends who occasionally do things or behave in a manner I might not like. They're still my friends though...I might roll my eyes, but I don't "hate" them.

Many Americans have problems with France because they want to be a world power (like Napoleonic times), but seem to refuse to be willing to take the responsibilities that come with it.
There are tens of thousands of American dead buried in France from the liberation of French soil in two World Wars, and all over South east Asia from when we took over from them after Dien Bien Phu in 1954, in Vietnam. American money rebuilt France (and other countries) after WWII via the Marshal plan.
de Gaulle demanded parity with the Allies when in reality they surrendered after about 40 days of fighting the Germans, and many collaborated after that.
They withdrew form NATO in 1967, yet still had the benefit of protection of that organization.
French heritage includes the French Revolution and assistance to the American colonies during our revolution, but that was a long time ago.
I was not aware that the majority of the world loved the French, but it seems lately, that your own Muslim population doesn't!

I can tell you we aren't jealous.
I have known a number of French people I have liked quite a bit. I do have a problem with its foreign policy and apparent lack of loyalty to countries who help France out. I also don't much enjoy traveling in Paris, due to the anti-American attitude.
South of France is better.

I easily have no longer something to function for the others solutions, using fact they have already suggested all it somewhat is attainable to declare on your question. yet, I easily have the effect that, besides the hot era, French human beings love the rustic and somewhat the females. i'm particular i will discover various women in my extreme college who dream to circulate, sometime, to long island, and who've as cellular's historic past time sq., as an occasion. So, i do no longer think of that often French do unlike human beings in spite of if some might hate human beings like others nationality. There are this type of folk everywhere, and notice somewhat in France. it somewhat is the comparable everywhere. in addition to, ecu subculture is in the present day in line with American subculture, as you will see it interior the streets (with McDonald's,... ), and on the radio: most of the songs are from the rustic. somewhat, it somewhat is the 1st time I pay attention that French hate human beings... yet one ingredient is definite (or no longer, in keeping with risk it somewhat is in elementary terms a stereotype) human beings are uncultivated, they think of, like somebody else suggested it in an different answer, they are the suitable of the international. some even do no longer understand the place is France on a map (or perhaps do no longer understand France exist). they think of each and every physique in others worldwide places communicate english using fact their language is the real language of the international, and for that they do no longer might desire to benefit others language than their one. yet each and every physique has defects... individually, i do no longer hate human beings in any respect, and if an American might circulate to France, i might welcome him and be very flatter to be certain that human beings have an interest in France (yet who can't be... ù_ù comedian tale). So, do no longer challenge, you is basically no longer hated in case you come to France. do no longer forget approximately that human beings and French have some elementary historic activities which instruct their friendship ;) desire you will come.

I being an American don't care for FRANCE in general due to FRANCE not having a backbone to support the USA in time of crisis. Americans frown upon WEAKNESS!
It's a given USA is a most generous, compassionate country of all. We believe in PEACE and SUPPORT nations whom have the same values and/or SUPPORT the countries that do not have a voice.
It is also a known fact USA is the most envied nation of all. WE, Americans are frowned upon as being SPOILED. It may appear that we take life for granted at times. However, WE, AMERICANS are grateful that we live in our country and not yours.
As for celebrities running to your country to find solace in upbringing their children is a mere joke. A dysfunctional parent will create dysfunction regardless of where he/she may decided to lay the foundation for their off springs. For example Madonna, I too would run faster than a bolt of lighting if I had a career past like hers. She plastered the USA with all her madness trying to become a successful artist. She has and continues to be controversial in all her new projects. Though we all know that old saying..."The apple doesn't fall too far from the tree".
Anyway back to your question. Americans DO NOT HATE. We frown upon WEAKNESS AND COWARDS!

It's impossible to say Americans, as in ALL Americans, because not all Americans hate France. Just because some Americans don't agree with France on political matters, it should not be said that Americans hate France.
I assume that the people in America who don't like France are the same ones who love Bush. That being said...then most Americans don't hate France.

Americans seem to hate the French most recently because they chose not to follow Bush into Iraq. Ironically, the vast majority of Americans now oppose the war. Go figure!

Which country that isn't Muslim loves France? What part of French history would an American be jealous of? Is France without it's problems that you feel the need to insult us?
Go ahead, find more reasons to insult us. Don't forget who started this fight. Also, don't forget that as long as you keep going, that we will too. Everyone knows we never quit.
