Germany is the most pro-american country in Europe and don't mistake France's desire not to import your culture as Anti-Americanism. They don't want to import British culture either!

Not saying they are being Anti-American I'm saying they don't want to be "American" when they grow up. Those are two very different things.
North Korea is anti-American. France isn't. I understand that. But at the same time not being anti-American doesn't make you want to be exactly like America. I'm not anti-French like many of the people I know...I like things about France...but it would be a cold cold day in hell before I'd wish my country to turn into France.

France holds dear to the ideals of Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite, which is exactly what the US used to be about. If anything it's the US which is now anti-american.

Regardless of what you feel about Bush the US still gloms strongly to it's initial tenants of Liberty and Justice. Now whether those same tenants are applied internationally....I dunno but I'd argue the ideals of French Liberty,Equality, and brotherhood don't hold up internationally either.
