It is a serious question. If they hate the States, why do the flock to her shores?
Look, there is no such thing as 'the French'. The people who live in France are not a monolith. Some of them may hate the U.S., some may love it, some of them may hate France and, probably, most of them couldn't care less about Bush, Chirac, Putin, Potemkin or the FoxNews Channel.
On the other hand, these people just had 2 of their children killed. This is a personal tragedy. Politics has absolutely nothing to do with this. Injecting politics into something like this is not appropriate.
