Well, France is the one that most people are making fun of right now. Name another country, and they'll make fun of them, too.

For me it was the nuclear testing that France did in the late 1990's. Other western countries did that in like 1960, france does it 30+ years later. What are they trying to prove, that they are some big military force with nuclear power. Then it comes to a point where you could try and show that power and they're chickening out.

France has a history of being disagreeable.

Why are people making fun of the French? Because you would think that after all we've done for them (WWII anyone?), they would be a little more supportive of ousting a dictator, instead of playing games of appeasement...

Hitler's Appeasment:
================

1933 - Hitler becomes chancellor

The Third Reich is established
1935 - Britain allows Germany to build up its navy (violation of Treaty of Versailles)
1936 - Rome-Berlin Axis
1936 - Reoccupation of the Rhineland territory lost in the Versailles Treaty. no opposition
1938 - Anschluss (Germany occupies Austria)
1939 - Munich Agreement (France, Great Britain agree to partition and annexation of Czechoslovakia)
1939 - Taking of Czechoslovakia or the Sudentenland
1939 - Hitler-Stalin Pact (neutrality)
1939 - Germany attacks Poland
September 1
1939 - Britain and France declare war on Germany

Hussein's Appeasement:

So the Germans can march in the shade.

Donald Rumsfeld was being heckled by a French anti-war weenie when he suddenly turned and asked the Frenchman:
"Excuse me. Do you speak German?" The Frenchman replied "No." Rumsfeld looked him in the eyes and said "You're welcome."
