Well silly you. It isn't all Bush foreign policy, it is one Bush policy, (the one to start a war against a country that posed us no threat, in order to turn it into a country that would pose us a threat) and a stupid one that is buying us, and will buy us, a truck load of grief. The French, imo, were correct, when they voiced concern with what we were doing and they (wisely, it appears) did not want to be part of it. That probably annoys you, but quite frankly I don't care very much. That has nothing to do with the fact that a lot of very nasty things are posted here, and I think that is a shame. If the French irritate you because they did not sign on to a stupid policy, and you feel the need to insult them, and mock them because of that, you might want to take a good long hard look at yourself. The existence of this thread does not excuse your bad behavior, or anyone else's.

the irritation comes out as French jokes and mockery of French cuisine, etc Then you must be surprised that the French, or other Europeans irritated with US policies of the past two years are not prone to ranting about the ignorant Americans, so obese they cannot fit in one airplane seat, such fools that they are too dumb to realize they have been lied to, whose children score lowest in international tests of aptitude not to mention cannot even find Iraq on the map of the world, who keep suing each other on the dumbest little issues imaginable, whose "cuisine" consists of the fast food and the snack, a nation of people so alienated, scared, and alone in their cities that they cannot look each other in the eye in the streets. It is easy to find such things to mock in any culture, and country. All this and more would be so easy to say for all those people you are so gleefully mocking. That they are not returning your juvenile behaviour should make you stop and think.
