Hi everyone : I'm Fench and I am very surprised by your statement about Jerry Lewis, personally I don't even know who that is???

Secondly every american tourist I see in Paris always tell me that he's sorry about the Irak mistake and that Bush just cannot be re-elected, so how come that you are surprised ?

Any American tourist you still see in Paris now --- is too stupid to recognize that France decided they wanted to be our enemy...
Therefore - I wouldn't be surprised by anything they might tell you..if in fact you really spoke to any.

Most Americans are aware that the Cannes Film Festival has become as leftist political and discredited as the Nobel Prize...
Any event, that combines France and Hollywood, is NOT to be taken seriously...or trusted...

Do YOU take advice from Film makers and ACTORS?

Semper Fi

I am sure "Fahrenheit 9/11" is as fine a film as this year's Cannes jury is capable of appreciating.

In the 60's, Jerry Lewis was considered in France to be a very funny comedian. In 1984, he was awarded the French Legion of Honor

That's because the only Americans who still travel as tourists to France these days are treasonous Americans who hate their country.

Patriotic Americans will not go to France and spend their money there if they can help it. We've had enough of the backstabbing of the United States by the country of France. The next time Germany invade you, Germany can have you. Don't come crying to us a third time to come liberate you.

Why does France have trees lining their streets?
So that the Germans can march in the shade.

France is the only country whose soldiers have sunburned armpits.

It appears only Americans who still agree with you French bother to show up in Paris. The rest have decided to vacation elsewhere, as we did.

I'm not writing from Paris, but let me be among the first Americans to break the news to you,... Irak(sic) is not a mistake, it is an integral part of the War On Terror and the defense of our Nation, and, yes, President Bush can be reelected and should be reelected. Kerry is a charlatan and a two-faced liar.

By the way, you could easily have met the likes of Kerry in your government at one time or another if you had the misfortune of living in Vichy France. But then, you live in modern day France, so there are probably lots of other examples for your handy comparison.

Well I am sorry to disappoint you but I work at flower shop near the Champs-Elysées, and I see american tourists every day indeed !
I also happen to talk to them, even the one who voted G.W. Bush (they are not ashamed to tell us unlike the French who consider politic as a private business), and they don't really show any sign of agressivity or anger against us. And I don't think our client at the shop are "leftists" as you seem to say, most of them are high executive in big companies (staying notably at George V Hotel). Actually they even are the ones who always leave the better "pourboire" (I don't know the english for it, is it "tip" ?) !!!
But honestly most of them don't talk about Bush as the possible next president of the US. But isn't there another Republican candidate possible ?

Real Americans aren't going to Paris these days. We don't want one penny going to that sewer. Remember, 'You are with us, or with the terrorists?". France chose the wrong side. The Oil for Food scandal will further exemplify France's decision to side with evil.

Hi dingobe/registered on FR on 5/22/04.

BTW, instead of you giving us your frenchy wisdom on politics how about you doing something concrete in Paris.

Like having the waiters on the Champs Elysee give back the correct change and maybe try to instill a spine in the French people.

I know, I know, there will be snowball fights in hell before that happens.

Wow you guys sound aggressive don't you ?!

Though there's one thing I agree with you : in France very few information have been released about the private business that Chirac and some french companies had with S. Hussain, and that's a shame for us becouse we would have discovered that the real reasons why Chirac refused the war was because of economical reasons and not humanitarian. But at the same time it looks like the french diplomacy had better understanding of the "monde arabe" than the american one (I don't say 'you' or 'me' because I guess that you guys don't work in that area as much as I do). And maybe investigating a bit more and using that European pressure (along with others) would have avoided all those dead people ? Take the example of Aristide who eventually left Haiti after we both sent our diplomacy over there.

Oh like Baghdad Jacuqes Chirac for one, IMO.
