"French people suck! I hate France! I am a smart person! "Why? Because the French opposed the war in Iraq, which many American conservatives opposed as well?"

A few American conservatives opposed war with Iraq. About 80% of the French people opposed it. Those are not comparable. France is responsible for Her actions. And Her actions caused there to be a war because Saddam saw that there was no unity among the Security Council members and so he thought he could survive. If France (and others) had stood with us, Saddam could have been taken without a shot being fired.

Perhaps you think that is no big deal. I, and many others, however, do not. I am glad to see people expressing themselves, even if (maybe especially since) it is not PC. Perhaps a French site would be more to your liking...

It is more than France "opposing" the war. They actively tried to undermine America's efforts in regards to Iraq. Me thinks that France has some "behind the scenes" dealings with Iraq that were illegal. More than opposition is why most of us are not that keen on the French right now.
