In his « L'Obsession Anti-Américaine » Jean-François Revel observed that there was a Le Monde editorial almost on the eve of D-Day claiming that America was the greatest danger to Democracy of all. So in a sense, if that's to be believed, it's nothing new. Don't forget the French have a love affair with collectivism, and are raised in a highly centralized, top down system of government. The geography of France is already revealing - there's Paris, some kind of logarithmic singularity with lines of force radiating throughout continental France.... Our respect for the individual has always been viewed with suspicion by the French, who often see Americans and our politicians as populist yahoos. This is where some of this stuff like the article you cite comes from.
