What do people have against France? |
Travel Info Here in the U.S, it seems like everyone in my school are against the country and people of France. Even my own friends. I am the only confused one who isn't against them. Why are Americans so against the French. Maybe not even just the Americans.... Travel Tips As Paul said this was orchestrated when the French refused to help for the invasion of Iraq (What is funny is that it was Germany who threatened to veto the motion at the UN but the French who were accused of it). What happened after 9-11 was that those countries offered help, money and troops to go after Ben Ladden and Al Quaeda in Afghanistan, which the US accepted. But as soon as the Talibans were routed, before even putting down a plan to finish cleaning up and helping the country get back to its feet Bush turned round and said that it was Iraq the big bad one. He had proof. Saddam had the N-bomb and WMD. So forget Afghanistan, time to all go attack him. The other countries refused. All their studies and secret services told them that there was no nuclear bomb and no WMD. They had agreed to help against Al Quaeda, not to give troops and money to further the ambitions of Bush (and yes, they had money in Iraq, so did plenty of US companies through European fronts). The French took the lead in that protest. In answer the Bush administration started a campaign of slanders. The French were cowards (cheese eating monkeys), the French were stupid and jealous, the French were hand in hand with Saddam, anything French was unclean (remember the Freedom Fries!). The French hate the Americans. History was rewritten in the blink of an eye to show that the French were baaaaaaad, "greedy, loathsome people who survived by sucking on the blood and money of the Americans" (an email I received). As the French say : "Slander someone, some will always stick." The real origins of the slanders have now been forgotten, the slanders have not. In answer, the French now think that Bush and his administration are a bunch of stupid, idiot, greedy, blind..... etc etc.... people and loath them. Despite what you heard most do make a different between America and its government. Source(s): Newspapers and studies over the last 7 years + personal experience Other Travel Tips god knows. it's all probably dated back to a war or an assassination. or family rebellions. hope this helps :] x as you just seen, it is not fair to hold judgments on people now for what the people did in the past. It's old & run down. It's dirty too. The people have as nice an attitude as they do a crummy country. umm sorry to bother you since i'm not an American but i'll try to answer you on their behalf (lol i just feel cool saying that ^_^) anyway humans are humans man we fight alot over everything France was against the US along time dunno about now but we can tell same goes to any 2 countries with political issues besides ppl go with the flow heck if i hear any country against my own native land i will be full of hatred of course this is wrong and i got rid of this habit alooong time you are doing fine be like that don't hate France alot of decent and good ppl live there that applies to all places on earth :) and about your classmates you can't change them that's reality ..time will heal all wounds.. and sorry again for posting this :D there are a lot of factors, one part is their lack of helping the U.S. during conflicts, another is their unfair judging in the Olympics. People that go to France for vacation feel as if the French are being rude to the, yet they do not understand the customs and courtesies, so they feel as if the French are being buttholes to them, so that brings forth some of the hatred towards the French.... |
