" australians i think hate us as much as the french do"
Why are so many Americans adamant that the French hate you? I mean I'm sure it grates on them every time some fuckwit (almost invariably from the south) says "we saved your asses in WW2", as much as it grates on me (English) - more, probably (because they saved your asses in your Colonial Uprising (Revolutionary War to you), and don't feel the need to mention it every 5 minutes...)
But - other than the general French attitude of being rude and ignorant to people who aren't French (which I think is bred from being part of a group of countries that have spent the past 1000 years kicking fuck out of each other) - they seem to quite like you lot.
The fact that they've spoke out against US policies is neither unsurprising nor unique. That seems to be the message your government wants you to believe - and, most surprisingly of all, vast numbers of you have accepted it at face value.
When was the last time you heard a French guy insulting America? When was the last French anti-US protest?
I mean, I hate the French as much as the next xenophobic Englishman, but the American attitude towards them is unfounded and ridiculous.
Unless you can enlighten me on it...
PS Yes, the Aussies do tend towards hating America. They're also pretty outspoken about it, being Australian (it's all they know, bless 'em)
