Personal spats are best done in private rather than public. Okay?

Subject: [Culturechat] "you Americans" "the French
Perhaps some of you are tired of seeing correspondents to Culturechat =
referring to "the French" or "You Americans". I am! Please if an =
argument is to be pursued please deal with factual issues and leave out =
"the", or "you". Some Americans supported the war(some more reluctantly =
than others), some did not. Some were jerks about their positions. Some =
arrived at their positions rationally. Some did not. Which of these =
groups constituted "you Americans"?
I do not know what "the French" , or for that matter any other group =
of people, think because they like people all over the world are a =
diverse lot.=20
Ask me however why Bush or Chirac did something and I will try to =
arrive rationally at reasons. Dispute the reasons.Leave the "name =
calling out"
Thanks.
