I wonder if its that attitiude that makes the entire rest of the world dislike Americans !
It might be. But then it's easy for the rest of the world to dislike Americans, isn't it, since whenever anything goes wrong they know they can just pick up the phone and call and have us come bail their a**es out. I mean, it's not like the Kuwaitis rang up the Norwegians when Saddam was destroying their country.
But you again take things too literally there, @polly. I use the French -- as many Americans do -- for comic value in much the same way that comics in Oz use the "pommy Englishman." Just a caricature. Anyway that's all neither here nor there.
