The elderly American gentleman arrived in Paris by plane. At French Customs, he fumbled for his passport.

"You 'ave been to France before, monsieur?" the customs officer asked sarcastically.

The old gent admitted that he had been to France previously.

"Zen, you should know enough to 'ave your passport ready for inspection." The American said, "The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it."

"Impossible. You Americans alwayz 'ave to show your passports on arrival in France!"

The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he quietly explained. "Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in '44, I couldn't find any Frenchmen to show it to."

Who cares. They will be disappointed in Bushes' re-election. They hated Reagan, and wanted him out too. So what....the French have become a joke.

I have just re-read a biography of Field Marshal Erwin Rommel. In it the author recounted Rommel's amazement at the attitude of the French when he was in command of the forces preparing to meet the Allied invasion in 1944. Rommel found that the French by and large held the Germans, who had invaded, conquered, oppressed and impoverished them, in higher esteem than they did the English, who were preparing a very risky invasion to liberate them.

If you like the French, raise your hand.

If you raise both hands, you ARE French!

I'm French and I agree. Asking foreign nationals about who they hope will win a US election has as much value as asking US citizens who they want as Mayor of Poitiers, Western France.

Yes indeed, that's the problem with this poll. What purpose is it supposed to serve ? US citizens elect their President, me and 40 millions other French citizens elect ours, and that's just the way it is.

French summer starts this week...and those old Frenchies will start falling over any minute now. What a wonderful caring society they have....and they are saving all that pension money too. Thank God for the French!

I entirely agree with you - except for the fact France is not led by a socialist government, is not 10% Muslim, and for the fact I fail to see how it's news, either good or bad. But except that, I tend to agree.

As soldiers, probably. Losing 1.4 million French soldiers and killing about the same amount of German troops in WW1 brings people together.

Wery, wery innnnnnnnnteresting!

No France's leader is NOT a socialist, but their trends are...so I consider it socialistic, just like a consider all things left, socialistic in today's world. And they do lean towards following in the social changes that have taken place in the Scandiavian countries (marriages between male and female down 33 % over a ten year period since homosexuals have been allowed to legally marry-the cradle to grave government nanny system combined with the loss of meaning in 'family' oriented marriage is changing the face of their culture.)

And the last report I read estimated that the French population is at approx 10 percent MUSLIM, in large part due to the immigration of Muslims from North Africa (Moracco, Algeria) I also read somewhere that this percentage is approaching reflection in their leadership positions. Altho I realize they did vote DOWN the wearing of headdress by Muslim girls in school.

Oh, correction, they forgot to ask that question.

" When Chirac amde his disgusting crack, saying that WW II ws NOT comparable to Iraq and the WoT today, I've have loved for W to reply with something like: "and just because millions of French collaborated with the Nazis during trhe war, we as Americans do not hold all French people guilty..

Chiraq wants us all to know that when it comes down to it, being a Saddamite collaborator is at least one step up from being a Nazi collaborator.
