wait a few years and come to France without your family, then you'll see by yourself if you like this country or not !
you know, I don't like the way Bush govern the USA and I think that some american are complete jerks. But I also know some american who are very nice and who are my friends, and I really like the landscape of your coutry.
So even if I don't like the way Bush's government think and act, I'll still come and visit the USA.
I guess that even if american people think that Chirac is a bad president or that France do stupid things in the world... I mean, all the French don't think the same thing, and landscapes and cities in France are beautiful.
Anyway, I think it's stupid to hate someone or a country if you don't know it... So tell your dads to come to France, and you'll talk about all that later.
You know what your dads do : racism.

I guess mass media are to blame.
I'm French and I spent one year in America. I was not considered as an enemy (although that was in 2001 so no Iraq war).
I don't know what American media had showed at the time but I clearly remember French media showing American people emptying bottles of red wine in the streets and that thing about changing the name of what you call French fries (in fact it was taken quite lightly here since we consider fries to come from Belgium so it was er ... more funny that anything else).
I'm pretty sure you guys in America saw such "hating" things on your television from French people.
Anyway my point is : we do not hate Americans and I don't think Americans hate French people. It was a fun thing to do for our media and that's all.
Now can we blame a whole country for the decision of 1 man (be it Bush or Chirac)??? I don't think so.

It's silly, because they spoke out against the war in Iraq. Many people in France and the world view Americans as arrogant and disrespectful of the rights and ways of others.
