Of all the people who have opposed the Iraq war, it seems that the French got hit the hardest with political insults. Sure Germany and Canada got a criticized but that disappeared , leaving only the French as the remaining scapegoat.

The French has been victims for such a long time, WWI, WWII, cold war and now this. I mean Germany opposed the war, and I don't see the U.S. government calling hamburgers krautbread or something.

Japan opposed the war as a majority of the citizens protested against going to U.S. going to Iraq.
I don't see the U.S. government insulting them.

It doesn't make sense, why does France get the worst of America's grumpy side?? Alot of the times I have been seeing people in forums saying "french this" and "french that".

Hearing about other opposing nations is considered rare when comparing with France.

Bottom line:

Why France??
