    After what our country did for France (twice) and the way they treat us now, I have no desire to go there. I don’t mean to say that all the french are negative towards us.

    I’m french and I’m not negative toward americans (agains Bush, yes we are, but we are not alone ;-) ). I’ll go this summer in your wonderful country and I have some american friends in Paris who love my country…

    Are you shure that french people are against you ? Or is it just your networks (fox, NBC, …) ?

    I should rephrase that. More specifically it’s the French government and the people who voted for them that have a negative attitude towards the USA. Now that they have someone new in office maybe that will change. I imagine that most of the french people have no problem with us. As always it is usually always governments that are the problem…not the people.
    I hope you enjoy your stay in the USA.

    Thank you, I hope my travel will be fine. I agree what you said, and it’s of course the same 5 years ago. I bet that USA & French govenments will have a new hooney-moon in six months…
