That idea seems to only currently seem to be oozing from the propaganda from the US admin - ie the "French" are our "enemies" bullshit. The "French" don't give a shit generally. Talk about "US haters" - there sure seem to be enough "French haters" in the US - pathetic!
The book is "anti-American" is it??? DUH!!  Grow up!!

So I wasn't aware of the voting dynamics at the Cannes Fetival? GROW UP! That wasn't my primary evidence for the French being anti-American.
It is a FACT that the no 1 bestseller in France SHORTLY after 9/11 was an allegation that the NYTC attacks were actually an American right-wing conspiracy. NO 1 bestseller. The French ate it up.
Not long after an (objective) Frenchman (not too many of those) wrote a book that tore that one apart and refuted it page by page. Sold far less, because the French did not want to hear it. The French are Player Haters.
Remember Villepin's response when he was asked if he wanted the US to win the war against Saddam? *No comment* was his response.
