Viva la France!
Some elements of the Republican Party of the United-States thought they
had found the perfect scapegoat during the build-up to the Iraq War. It only
took a few strategic comments from the upper echelons of the Administration
to set into motion a campaign of vilification that spiralled into the
situation we know today. What these irresponsible politicians didn't realise
is that Anti-French sentiment would evolve into a witch-hunt against proud
Americans of French origins.
A fact 11 million Americans of French ancestry will not forget anytime
soon, especially during an election year.
