We might have remained British?

I really do not understand the undercurrent of hatred for the French. I
used to think it was because the French and the French government were
arrogant, but in the last eight years, we've certain surpassed them in
that regard.



Well, back in the 50's, France declaring their ww2 war debts to the
US as "null and void"

But i doubt if that has anything to do with it....
