The meaning would be totally different if you could read or understand French

December 12, 200520 yr Sound Familiar? Over Two Centuries Old, and Still Running Strong ...scholarship shows that anti-Americanism is nothing new. It's older than the United States Kathy Krajco writes, quoting James W. Ceaser (danke zu Atlantic Review via Medienkritik). Most experts agree that it was more rampant in the 1930's than it is today!

Anti-Americanism, is nothing more than double standards...

That would teach a lesson to a few EU officials who dare "conspiring" with the ennemy (USA)
December 15, 200520 yr How the French Élites Remain in Power, Making Themselves Rich in the Process: "The intransigence is unbelievable" French citizens, who see the rise in unemployment and the fall in their standard of living, are paying an increasing price for having voted for their nomenklatura during the last three decades wrote Jean-Christophe Mounicq (merci aux archives d'RV). These elites behave as if France were theirs. They control the Parliament and enact laws but do not respect them...
