Dude, I'm British. Us and the French go way back. So chill.

Actually I wonder if you even looked at the link...

I viewed the link, Make a better Bush. I believe its origin is Americain. The humour value is so limited. I ask you, where are all the real improvements such as eyeshadow and liner, mascara, lipgloss? He also needs to choose a more fashionable 'do and to have his brows plucked and shaped.

I'm agitated as there have been several anti-french threats recently (not all on this forum).

I don't know about you, but I think poking fun at Americans took over here in Canada.

I hear about 5 jokes a day related to American stupidity. At least 5, no less. If you do something dumb, you get away with it by saying "being an American."

I'm sorry, but this is the trend and I kind of like it. Too much to make fun of.

I also have noticed much of the same in my town, but it really depends on what of people you are around, there are a surprising number of bush supporters in my neighborhood.

I hate to say it, but that is not surprising if you are from west.

Realistically we know who voted for Harper a.k.a. Bush's *****.

Note: I normally call Harper plastic face along with Alberta's PM (cowboy just like Bush).

Why do you think that might be then?

Not that they had big trade links with Saddam (despite the sanctions), insulted the new nations about to join the EU, ruin third world agriculture by insisting on the EU Common Agricultural Policy that uses taxpayers money to subsidide their farmers and dump waste on world markets at less than cost price...

Oh, and haven't France just wiped out the Ivory Coast air force in an unprecedented attack?

That still doesn't beat the Americans.

The Americans tried to remove a viscious dictator in Iraq, the French did secret trade deals with him...

I don't know how secret they were at the time (I sure didn't hear anything about it) but the Americans also had numerous trade deals going on with Saddam. Especially Cheney/Halliburton.
(By 'viscious dictator' - did you mean 'vicious' or 'viscous'?)

I'm glad you pointed out the definition. I can't see any reason for using that word in the sentence. It suggests either a complete obliviousness of the history of conflict, or more likely, a misuse of the word 'unprecedented'.
