The point is that after 2 world wars and millions of people killed, there should be a minimal amount of knowledge learned by Europeans. France is going to need help again. The next time Americans are involved, we are going to take over everything. We are angry and mad that you can't take care of your own affairs after all the previous deaths.

Well, once again I don't think you are quite aware of what's going on in our country… First, I've never heard so far of any french politician or citizen asking for the US help, this sounds even quite absurd. Personally when I see the mess you left in Vietnam and today in Iraq I doubt you would be really welcome anyway! Second, "the minimal amount of knowledge" (as you call it) on behalf of the European people after 2 world Wars during the last 100 years, has been part of our European community for more than 60 years now… And one of the idea that prevails in Europe today is to practice dialogue, help, tolerance and work for peace within the community. I have been living and studying in Germany and in the UK, I have spent some holidays in Spain, Belgium and Holland but I have never heard any speech or seen any act of xenophobia or sectarianism on behalf of any european citizen for another citizen. Also, I don't understand you paternalist statement of not being happy that we cannot take care of our own business. I don't remember any french fellow scolding at America during the 1992 Los Angeles riots…
