The people who live in the country France. The French are responsible for assistance to America in the Revolutionary War, the war in 1812, WWI and WWII and more. The French are also responsible for giving the United States one of the most historical and recodnized landmarks, the Statue of Liberty. Many dislike the French due to them not supporting the War in Iraq, but many of those that dislike the French opposed the War in Iraq. Very strange we hate a country for choosing a side a lot of us are on...

Most of the French people I've met are really nice and friendly people. But from that, they are also wild and crazy.
