SUBJECT: Greetings
from France
Hi Lisa !
Thank you VERY much for your funny, witty, and clever web site. As french
citizen living in Paris, I am very pleased to see so much (even if not
enough) american involved against this foolish administration. I am
distressed by the strong propaganda in the US media which try to present the
French as traitors just because they don't agree (for their huge majority)
with the current american foreign policy. You simply cannot pretend bring
the democracy (with bombs...) and refuse to your allies and other countries,
to have a different opinion from yours.
You are welcome. The French bashing that is
occurring is moronic, just like the actions of Bush. I think French bashers
are culturally jealous (they just don't know it).
All the friendly signs from american citizens which come to us, are very
pleasant and welcomed in this sad situation. We are together in this fight.
But you are very deserving, because I can imagine how it is difficult today
in the US to oppose this war without beeing considered as unpatriotic or
anti-american.
The French aren't the only ones bashed in the US --
anyone who disagrees with Bush are verbally beaten up. Yur either
with us or agin' us!
You are not unpatriotic, and I am not (and have never been) anti-american. I
was very shocked, like all the French, by the 9/11 attack, and our main
newspaper "Le Monde" have entitled "Nous sommes tous américains" (We are all
americans). But I am also shoked to see so many Iraqi civilians, who have
nothing to see with that, killed by the american bombs and shots. It's not
the image of America that many of us love and cherish.
I am grateful that Jacques Chirac was the first
leader to visit our country after 9-11.
Many thanks again and good luck.
Best wishes from Paris,
Fabrice DELANGRE
Thank you for writing and Vive la
France!
