I will never understand the contemporary aversion of Americans to France.

I too love France, from the food to the wine to the sights to the skiing. Every time I go to Europe, I make it a point to spend a couple days on the Route des Vin in Alsace - French quality food served in German-style portions.

I think many Americans dislike the French because they're just like us - nationalistic and convinced that they are the centers of western culture (if not the universe). I believe that most Americans who express such antipathy toward the French have never set foot in France.
