Didn't the US support this cease-fire? It's easy to make fun of the french, but there wouldn't be any UN resolution without the US. As for making fun of other countries, I promise to make broad sweeping generalizations about americans when you elect President Hilary Clinton and speaker Nanci Pelosi.

True, but the US did not make a troop commitment that was part of the cease fire and then renege, as the French are doing.

Foreigners already ridicule the US due to Bush, I would not expect different should Hillary or Pelosi ascend. Also, French military prowess has been a topic of humor going on 80 years now, unless I missed some great exploits that haven't been circulated. Between the Greenpeace debacle, the fact that their only carrier isn't seaworthy, etc., I'm surprised someone would take umbrage. Are you French, by any chance?
