I think you need to expand your views a bit more and acquire an educated view of world affairs. The excuses you have given for America’s behaviour show that you have not really given much thought to the state of the world today and that perhaps you have overdosed on Bush-friendly mediatic propaganda. Bush is not the devil, but he is no angel either. No one is above criticism. Not even the US. America has more friends than you think, but its behavior lately has ensured that, increasingly, friends don’t answer phone calls very often, and may even pretend not to be at home sometimes. A little humility would go a long way. For France, the US and indeed most Western countries.
