First of all, I do believe that French pride was hurt by the US having to save their butt during WWII. Second, I assure you that I'm not a dunce. Third, your last would be true of any nation and not just France. Considering that in the course of history, two of the most colonialistic nations were Britain and france, why else would you think the french resent the US. It's quite simple. They've always viewed themselves as a world leading nation. In fact, they were one of the four permanent members of the security council. However, the world has left feckless france behind. They've been reduced to 3rd world status with little influence in the real world community. |
