I too am tired of all the French bashing. So they chose not to side with the US this time... So what? That's their right as a sovreign nation.

It especially bothers me when it comes from my father-in-law, who is half French! He's a Conservative and a staunch Bush supporter, and bashes the French because of his party loyalties. He says, "I choose to be a Conservative. I can't help being French."

Have Americans seriously forgotten that we owe our independence to the French?!?!
People need to stop getting all butt hurt about politics, and realize that sometimes history and heritage are important.
