French kissing
The French these days make you regret that Henry V died before he could consolidate his victories. The country would have been so much better if ruled by Englishmen who are not afraid to speak the language.
Recently the French have been on something of a "charm offensive," trying to lure back US tourist. There are certainly lovely things to see in France. It is just that you have to share it with the French who have made arrogance a virtue except when describing Americans.
Why do the French think it is important to protect their language from coruption from American inspired English words? Americans are not so insecure. They adopt words from any language if they find them descriptive and useful.
There have been many great Frenchmen. Napolean is one of the "great captains." As Dirty Harry said, he just did not know his limitations. That is a problem with current leadership in France. It is their pretensions of importance that is arrogant. If they do not like US policy, fine. As long as it is not a threat to their national security, they should be smart enough to get out of the way. Instead they practice betrayal on a grand scale, and then wonder why US citizens are upset with them.
Don't worry France. Americans like pretty things and will return and endure the French. Just give them time to forget what jerks you can be.
