Gawd, can you hear yourselves? Armstrong didn't fight against the French -- he is an internationally acclaimed, participating in a sporting event against folks from a myriad of nationlities -- just becuase it's French doesn't mean the competitors fight against the French. Dos the French open purely consist of matches against French opponents? Does Wimbledon consist of matches against English opponents only?

First of all, I was referring to the seemingly millions of French citizens rooting enthusiastically for him to lose, not his racing opponents. And secondly, I was just kidding around.

Lighten up.

"Gawd, can you hear yourselves?"

Yes he was taunted by many nationalities. However, France is the host country, they haven't exactly been good allies when we asked for help.

Are all French the same, do they all feel the same way or are they targets as a whole because of their heads of state......people THEY elected.

Given the Nationalism of France, their pettiness of their language being corrupted by foreigners, the trashing of McDonalds and Euro Disney because they're what, jealous?

The apparent doublecrossing of Bush and Colin Powell....

Get the picture?
