heard another advertisement mocking the french, where, as usual, the french are shown being annoying, negative, and yucky in general. i think that even after pres. bush is shown to have made up stuff (if he did) to take us to war in iraq, even after everyone shows that he inflated the threat (if he did) to encourage everyone to support going forward and 'shock and awe'ing the iraqi people...america will still hate the french, or at least think that it is very cool and funny to make fun of the french. (of course, we may never find out about niger and the validity of the reason to go to war).
