"France is a Democracy. People can speak what they believe. Among the Democracy of nations, there will be disagreements." I think this is the crux of the whole problem. Of course, we (US) welcome and invite disagreement, Lord knows we have plenty of dissent here in the US. France is perfectly free to disagree with our policies. But France has gone well beyond simple dissent. France has tried (still trying) to derail and sabotage our every attempt to bring some finality to the Iraq problem. Anti-americanism in France is not a figment of our imagination. They have aggressively attacked our policies well beyond simple dissent. Look at our own Congress, they have dissenters,they have disagreement, but they discussed, argued and then voted. This is the collective decision of our democracy. France has shown no respect for this position. If France simply disagreed, let them do so but stay out of the way. They are not disagreeing , they are challenging. This is what many Americans feel as the ultimate betrayal to the sacrifices we made for them. HH
