Joe doesn't sound so french to me, but ... I'm not good with regional names. *hehe*
But seriously, though, France in general, and definately their government, seem to be ... um ... assholes. I know our government has its share of assholes, too, and we have plenty of wishy-washy leaders.
But to bitch about damn near everything the US does or says, then to congratulate themselves for working cooperativly in the fight against terror ... I don't know. It grates me wrong.
