Does France Really Hate The US?
I just finished Michael Moore's "Sicko". He makes France out to have an incredible system. It evokes thought. I need to actually dig up some facts before I really agree with this, but Michael Moore certainly makes France seem awesome. Then again, I don't exactly trust Michael Moore.
Anyway, Mr. Moore insinuates that the French really don't hate the US, but the media and government want us to think the French hate us so we won't look into their awesome system. That wouldn't surprise me, but again, you never know.
Because I'm a big WW2 guy, I find it difficult that a country would change it's mind about another country in just a few generations. The French put the United States on a robo pedestal. I would too. We saved them from the Nazis. Now, I realize that we are talking 1944-1945 here. However, it seems that my generation would have way too many grand parents telling stories about how the US saved the day for the country to have a true disdain for America.
I don't know. Food for thought. Is anyone up on this one?
