ANTI-AMERICAN BRITS, PRO-AMERICAN FRENCH
Bizarre, though probably accurate, paragraph from an article in the British paper The Independent.

Regarding a report concerning the anxieties of Americans:

Attitudes towards foreign countries have changed fundamentally [since 9/11/01]. The latest report shows a hardening of negative feelings towards France and, to a slightly less extent, Saudi Arabia. Yet, Americans seem to be engaged in a full-blown love affair with the British. Never mind that anti-Americanism is seen to run far higher in the UK than in France.

Now most of the 9/11 hijackers came from which country: Saudi Arabia or France? Yet who is the prime target of our national temper tantrum?
