Now many of the expatriates that I met in France have moved back to the US within the last 6 months.

So my guess turns out to be correct. You did live in France and in all likelihood, your rabid anti-French behaviour is based on some prejudice you have against the French, and all this "Elf did this, Chirac did that" is just the confetti.

Their kids have
been spit on, their houses have cruel graffiti painted on
them, and in one case a fire-bomb was thrown through the
window


You've got to be kidding me. Do you have articles talking about all this or are you just making them up?

Maybe it is time for the people on this list to wake up to the reality of what is occurring in France

I live there. What would YOU know of "the reality" in France?

How many places of Jewish worship have been burned in the last year?

Repeat after me: "Synagogues".

How many more books will be published in France stating that 9/11 did not take place?

What are you talking about?

How much more money will be collected to support terrorist groups such as Hamas in France?

Again, what are you talking about?

There is something fundamentally wrong with
America's "ally".


Even if Muslim inhabitants of France are somehow supporting Hamas, do you realize who the main source of income for IRA was before 9/11 (and subsequent unpopularity of terrorism)? People of Irish descent in the US.

Here it is again: It was Americans who funded IRA, a terrorist organisation, which blew up civilians.

Do you know this? And if you do, what would you think about America as an "ally" of the UK?

Fact of the matter is your judgement is clouded by prejudice, if not hatred. I feel sorry for whatever past experience in France did this to you. But try to understand, rather than evade, what I have said in the previous post: that the unlawful acts of a multinational corporation does not mean the whole nation on whose soil it is headquartered are unethical, mean bastards. Ask yourself why you tried to make it look so...
