Are you American ? You must be as don't understand the English language do you , I suppose it is the 30 years of education that does it .

As for France, I think its a matter of arrogance and how it's easy to make fun of them for being 'cheese eating surrender monkeys'. Plus, recently they worked against the US and they have a history of trying to have it both ways and not fully backing their allies (cold war & Russia, middle east, Iraq & Iran).
