The thing is, that attitude permeates the French intelligentsia. They've always kind of hated us because we got way bigger than them and they think their shit can't physically stink. That being said, the French also know when the Americans are attempting to dominate them, and they don't take kindly to that shit either. They aren't the British and won't just accept our hegemony. I can respect them for that, but the Brit-Bongs are right, they are still cunts.
I'd prefer America aim more towards Africa, S. American and the Pacific. Liberating those two continents from Socialism would do everyone a world of good.
Now that I am thinking about it some more, our relationship with France kind of reminds me of brothers (at least my brother). We would fight, kick each other, and try to establish dominance over the other, but if someone else did something to one of us, the other would step in to defend them. I suppose its fitting since the US and the modern French come from similar ideological backgrounds, so one could argue we are brothers.
And fair point on Africa. Actually, IIRC, a lot of African nations hold shockingly high opinions of the US. I just looked at the most recent poll, and there are 3 African countries in the top 11 (the top 11 being Vietnam, Israel, The Philippines, S. Korea, Poland, Nigeria, Hungary, Italy, Ghana, Tanzania, and Japan). Also a lot of Asian nations, which I think just backs up the point that has been made by many that Americas future is in the Pacific.
