AOL mocks French.
jasonlane:
What I find very disturbing is that someone somewhere at AOL/CNN/ seems to have lost all sense of morality in general! Under the quotes section we have:
quote:French President Jacques Chirac: "As far as I'm concerned, war always means failure."

Eermm... I thought that was infact right, or am I just a wrong, lefty, hippie, liberal?
I really don't want to start a flame war here, that's not my intention. Also it's very easy to make broad sweeping generalisations, that are never wholly right but very hard to avoid. However I think that this attidute does reflect an opinion in the states, however I've seen alot of critisism of the goverment and perhaps of the morals of American from Americans recently. It takes all sorts, no? Don't forget that we Brits have been very guilty of bashing the French in the past, just as the French seem to relish bashing us from time to time. Injuries all round then?
The question is this attidute in the majority or minority? Personally I'd say it's in the majority. Pitty.

Why? Prove it!
What more or less than Yanks, Canadians, Brits, Australians, Iraquis....What?

I'm just kidding. But it is kind of funny how the French have gotten their asses kicked in every single war they've been in. Besides, I'm not sure they're too fond of us either.
