"You know why the French don't want to bomb Saddam Hussein? Because he hates America, he loves mistresses and wears a beret. He is French, people." -Conan O'Brien

I don't mind in the least when comedians make fun of france or pretty much anything for that matter.
It's when people actually believe that shit and aren't doing it just for a laugh that I get pissed off.
"As pundits mull whether America's next target in the war on terrorism should be Iraq or a smaller quarry first ? such as the Sudan or Somalia ? it's time to consider another petri dish of ferocious anti-American hatred and terrorist activity. The Bush doctrine is: We are at war not only with the terrorists, but also with those who harbor them. We've got to attack France. Having exhausted itself in a spirited fight with the Nazis in the last war, France cannot work up the energy to oppose terrorism. For decades now, France has nurtured, coddled and funded Islamic terrorists." - Ann Coulter, Dec 20, 2001
yeah, I've come to terms with the fact that people make fun of france, but most of them don't actually hate france. Some people however, actually take these quotes to heart.
See that's a hard statistic to trust, because what do people want? I read a study that showed that the GDP and the Per Capita Income of America are higher, but that a higher percentage of Frenchmen were content with their life. It's a difference in cultures.
