Oh, you've totally got more history of French bitterness, no question. Historically France has been a US ally, always good for helping us win revolutions (against people they didn't like) and selling us land dirt cheap.

Of course, that was part of the problem. Bush wanted to start a war and got all upset that Chirac refused to be his bitch. Clearly he didn't understand that France is supposed to have our back, even when we're hunting non-existent WMDs!!
