I think that French have always loved and still love America and Americans. We are faithful to our friends for life even for 9/11 Chirac went directly to NY to support us all new yorkers after those terrible events. But then there was the lies and deceptions about the grounds to go to war against Irak. After my experience of 9/11, I was the first supporter of the Bush adminsitration (and I still remember applauding in front of the TV set when Bush made his so famous speech) to go to war against the Talibans in Afganistan because there were concrete proof that they were involved in 9/11 but as an attorney I lacked the legal grounds for accepting to go to war again an innocent country even though I agree that Sadam was a dictator, but yet, the US has not launch a war against every country that has a dictator as head of office! That is what French people regret when Bush was reelected. They almost felt let down by the American people because we have been in the same boat for so many years that we could not be following you on that one! You should have seen how we followed your Congressional elections because in Paris, it was as if it has been ours! We were all very proud and happy to see that finally American had no more retina pigmentosa or a narrowed vision field and could finally see what we have from the beginning seen in Bush! So do not worry in France, your image is much better whatever the newspapers and journalists say! Well, very interesting points of view and here is mine from the other side of the Atlantic.
