France’s long “hate America” campaign

Whether it’s supporting terrorist-abetting Cuban dictator Fidel Castro or nosily denouncing U.S. capital punishment, France seldom passes up an opportunity to oppose America in the United Nations and elsewhere.

The sad reality is that current French leaders envy and hate America for our power and wealth. While America has been prospering, France (along with much of Western Europe) remains deeply mired in economic stagnation created by a failed socialist economy and myopic leaders.

France’s new “hate America” campaign is particularly despicable when considering the history of American aid to France.

  • When Germany threatened France during World War I, American doughboys came to the rescue.
  • Thirty years later, when France was conquered by Nazi Germany and her people enslaved, tens of thousands of Americans gave their lives to defeat their German conquerors and free France.
  • After World War II, France was one of the largest beneficiaries of the U.S. Marshall Plan which saved the French from destitution and rebuilt their economy.
  • Then, when the Soviet Union threatened Europe during the Cold War, for over 40 years the American nuclear shield again protected France from Soviet conquest.

Again and again America has saved France from political annihilation and slavery. But instead of appreciation, again and again we have received sneering derision.

  • When America went toe to toe with Castro during the Cuban Missile Crisis, the French said they would not stand with us.
  • When President Reagan bombed Khadafy’s Libya after it sponsored terrorism that killed American soldiers, the French refused to allow US bombers to cross its airspace.

Today, as Chairman of the Pentagon’s Policy Advisory Board Richard Perle observes: "France is no longer the ally it once was. I have long thought that there were forces in France intent on reducing the American role in the world."

‘Beneath Contempt’

And it gets even worse. Even Left Coast Democrat Rep. Tom Lantos of California said he was "particularly disgusted by the blind intransigence and utter ingratitude" of the Axis of Weasel after it gave Saddam the green light to attack Turkey.

"If it were not for the heroic efforts of America's military, France, Germany and Belgium today would be Soviet socialist republics," Lantos noted. "The failure of these three states to honor their commitments is beneath contempt."

So fanatical is French President Jacques Chirac's jealousy and hatred of America that even his fellow Europeans are now expressing outrage at his implication that France would block now independent former Soviet satellites from joining the European Union because they are too "pro-American."

"They missed a good opportunity to keep quiet," Chirac huffed, and went on to claim that those who support America were "childish and irresponsible."

But what can you expect from politicians from a country that virtually surrendered to the Wehrmacht without a fight, and then eagerly collaborated with Nazi Germany?

It’s no wonder that more and more Americans and others throughout the world are sick of France’s arrogance and cowardice, and there is a growing global movement to boycott French goods.
