Bravo. Too bad The Mirror is going to have to fire him, though.

Anti-French feeling in the United Kingdom is rarely any more than a passing fancy, a jokey bit of "hop-off-you-Frogs" banter. This is currently NOT true in America. Their anti-French feeling is no joke or passing fancy..

He is sure right about one thing. The animosity toward France isn't going away any time soon.

Tremendous essay and understanding of conservative America by Mr. Parsons.

No matter what happens over the coming days and weeks, it is true what they say - the English Channel is far wider than the Atlantic.

Both the US and Brits would do well to remember this -- the case for dramatically strenghtening our mutual cultural and economic ties is in the best interest of both countries in the long run.

Excellent, the whole article.

It is the French and their government who are detested by the Americans.

He understands....

On the eve of war, there is a tangible anger in America. But surprisingly not all of it of it is directed against the Saddam Hussein and his regime. It is the French and their government who are detested by the Americans.

And funny too, how those Baath Party folks were stashing millions of UNITED STATES DOLLAR$.....haven't read a thing about large stashes of Euros or Francs now have we????
