French anti-Americanism not quite what it seems?

Did you boycott french fries and give up French wines? A lot of Americans have been angry with France since the early days of the war in Iraq. Myself included. (Although I only gave up the french fries because I joined Weight Watchers.) And the French have always seemed quite disdainful of Americans.

Anyway, I stumbled across this article by Howard French of The NY Times on his site A Glimpse of the World. According to French, France quarrels with America because we are so much alike! Read it--it's a good article. I may just schedule a trip to France this spring after all.
