France has always been weird. They got the USA to enter the Vietnam war by saying they would be traitors if the US didn't help. Go figure.
JFK should have told them to F themselves. I guess since he didn't that makes us even weirder.

France can really have volatile politics that are hard to understand. They also tend to get blamed for things that are not necessarily as true of them as they are true of places like Germany.
For instance, many think of the French as being virulently anti-American in many ways, yet when Bush was President it was Germany that actually showed that out in the polls far more than France.
But if anyone remembers my last name you would understand why I have some mixed feelings on that.

French food is so good, they can have crappy politics and be forgiven.
And you ain’t a real man until you’ve licked the hairy, sweaty armpit of a 55 year old French woman.
Mhmmmm... just thinking about it makes me want to jam some escargots up her mussel and lick them out with garlic paste.
