Twice as many Americans now regard France as an ally than they did in 2010
Opinion of France was hurt by the French lack of support for the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq. In March 2003, France took the position that United Nations weapons inspectors needed more time, and that an invasion of Iraq would be premature. In apparent retaliation for the lack of French support for the invasion of Iraq, the U.S. Congressional cafeteria – following the example of a North Carolina restauranteur, changed the name of French fries to “freedom fries,” and French toast to “freedom toast.” Travel, trade shows, and purchases were affected. There was a boycott of French wines, and one analysis suggests that French wine sales dropped by 13% over a six-month period. However, during that uncomfortable period, CBS News and Gallup Polls found that Americans – although they held generally unfavorable views of France – still regarded it as at least a friendly nation.
The next year opinion about the French became politicized. During his 2004 campaign for president, current Secretary of State John Kerry was accused of being French (his grandparents had an estate in Brittany), looking French, and even attacked for speaking French. Clearly, a “French connection” was seen as a political negative. During the 2012 Republican primary campaign, Mitt Romney was criticized for the same skill.

Who in the fuck would consider France an enemy? Even if they didn't support us back in 2003 did people really think they were as bad as the taliban?
>There was a boycott of French wines
Holy shit.

The French are the most militant people on the planet. They've been involved in and won the most wars since 100AD.
Naturally America's best friend

Da Joooz aren't the problem either.
The real problem is leftism, multiculturalism, progressivism. If wasn't for these, mudslimes wouldn't exist in western Europe in the first place.

It's not really leftism in particular. It's 2 opposite parties trying to destroy the other at every oppurtinity. Companies made Africa poor(er) than it should be with the abundance of resources (people sell out their country for their own merit, and companies do it for their own merit, obviously). Suppression of the media on this subject makes people ignorant. At the same time left movements want all poor people to not be poor anymore. Which causes businesses to fail due to too high wages. And also uses media suppression on the numbers that are bad for their ideology. As both movements are reactionary, the world we live in right now is the result of both movements trying really hard to push their ideology on the people every oppurtinity they get (they'll really just take anything, morality has long since disappeared from the debate). Politicians are pussies that can't be bothered.
