The French gave the Statue of Liberty to the United States as a token of their thanks for their support and help of the creation of their own democracy. However, only the statue was made by France. The pedestal on which it stands was built by the US.

He is helping women over there trying to support their family,  Danone is expanding in a poor area so the women can find work. Not sure what the men are doing, probably sleeping.

"There's nothing wrong with being proud of your country, but if you want to leave it so bad, that you do so illegally, that doesn't sound like being proud of the your country."-- I have been saying this sence this started..I totally agree with you..I guess people frome the other countries know that if they protest at their country they will be shot or something--but they know they can get away with it here in the LAND OF THE FREE--NOTHING LIKE STABBING LADY LIBERTY IN THE BACK

I live in Italy and I'm half Italian and I can tell you why. I've been disliking Italian attitude for the past 10 years, there's a lot of "vittimismo" here, people feel as if everyone is against Italy, everyone is envious because Italy is the best country in the world (which is not true, come live here and you'll see for yourself). I'm talking about this on an Italian blog on msn (go see for yourself if you're interested www.msn.it and then look for blog sports and find my comments under faerie poet in the news related to zidane or golden ball award) and you'll see how much I've been insulted and mistreated morally. It's that horrible Italian attitude of feeling that they are the best people on Earth and everyone else is always trying to say something bad about them. Well see what so many Italians said about the French, the Germans, the Ukrainians etc.

The French are one of the main countries that were helping arm Saddam and making illegal oil deals with him while he was under sanctions from the UN.I think you should find out what your own country has been up to before you comment on mine.

Ummm... I guess.  (Although I don't know if I have any idea what you're talking about.  What's the dif between capita and \nca-pita?)  \n\nSo, are you saying we should be against our corrupt government, or are you saying you've got a beef with French Canadians and Brits?  On second thought, I really don't know what you're talking about.  But I like your style.  You've got zazz.  \n\n(Incidentally, what's up with your avatar?  Are you the Punisher or something?)

because theyre the french and theyre ungrateful for all we've done for them, i mean we could've had them speaking german if we wouldnt have stepped into the european theatre in ww2. also i think theyre really proud of their heritage since they always say americans have no heritage..

I have no problem bashing the present USA Government.  I think the people in the US ( majority of them ) are great!  I do have a problem with people who bash other countries as a whole like some of the no-brainers in here.  I am from Canada.  Say what you want about us.  But do remember when the planes were falling we did help, side and grieve along with the rest of the Americans.  Unfortunately it's comments like some in here from instigators that make close minded foriegners love to hate you. ...God Bless...p.s Bob    Your an idiot!!

Angry at who?  The irakis or the american government? Personnaly I am angry at them (military) for killing civilians in retaliation for loss of their colleagues. What kind of civilisation are we? we pride ourselves in liberty and freedom and democracy but we go out there and kill innocents like we would be barbarians from 7th century. Wow... What an example for other countries. And we are the "civilized ones".....\nThis makes me sick...

Not just the French, pal. We British think you are brash, arrogant and generally ignorant of the world beyond the USA's frontiers.

The French seem to forget that they (and all of Europe) would be called "Germany" and would be ruled by Nazis today if American's had not gotten involved in WW2.  They hate everything about America- ironically.  I think it is beyond snobbery.

Thank you for this beautiful montage.  I can't imagine anyone not being impressed, American or not, with the images shown. The music was nice, too. \n\nI almost didn't open it, because I don't want you defining who a patriot is, especially since their definition is almost always at odds with mine. \n\nRemember, donate responsibly.

Sometimes I think it is all the fault of the American patriots, that they stooped to the (then unheard-of) tactics of shooting at the British from behind trees and bushes. They used these underhanded techniques, largely learned from the savages of the American continents, to compensate for their numerical inferiority. \n\nThough I share the beliefs and values of the Founding Fathers and their armies, though I cherish the freedoms we have as Americans, this still bothers me.\n\nThe success of the American colonials inspired the French Revolution, which was so bloody it is now known in history as the Reign of Terror. If only Louis had thought to give them a whiff of grapeshot and then fix bayonnets and charge the rabble away! There would still be a Louis on the throne of France. Instead, it only encouraged that unpleasantness with the Corsican adventurer and all the rest that followed.\n\nFor generations afterward, whenever a coup took place in South America, the mustachio'd 'gentlemen' would say, "We are not revolutionaries! We are freedom fighters! Not conqustadors, patriots! Not oppressors, liberators!" \n\nCommunism picked that theme up and ran with it for decades. Until it fell apart. Even now, there are some that think Communism has not been discredited; only that it has not been tried hard enough, long enough.\n\nCommunism funded many people and movements in Africa. And there was, and is, the tension between Islam and the rest of the world. Strategic materials such as chromium and uranium have provoked many a conflict. Less strategic materials such as gold and diamonds have also done so.\n\nIn the final analysis, I would have to say-- as old as it sounds, it is still profound-- the ends do not justify the means. Some may think that we, as Americans, cannot point the finger (given our own beginnings.) \n\nBut if we want there to be an end to this, someone must start. If we wait to begin until there is a nation that has never done such things, we will be waiting a long time.

It was for the oil!!!! And to avenge the VD that FDR got from a French hooker!\n\nWhy did we perpetrate that evil on the innocent French? We bombed them, killing thousands of innocent people, just so FDR could put his head on a dime!\n\nThey were living in peace, licking German boots and rounding up Jews. What right did we have to attack them? Unjustified! FDR lied to us!
