Warning: this post contains a controversial opinion (not my opinion but one that's shared by many in some of my circles). This post does not assume that this information is necessarily true, nor does it assume it's true of French persons. It is not meant to offend but merely to offer a possible explanation for France's unwillingness to support the U.S.
Phew!
The talk among the Jewish community is that France has long been an anti-Semitic country. Some people believe that France is dead-set against war because they know any weapons developed by Arab nations will be used on Israel.
I have a hard time believing this is true, but, considering the U.S. pretty much saved Europe (a little too late, if you ask me), many people think France should rush to support the U.S. I heard similar talk about it on NPR yesterday.
