Le Nouvel Obs online poll is interesting.
A ship called America - either we learn to sail together or we sink together.


Source: (in french) http://tempsreel.nouvelobs.com/<http://tempsreel.nouvelobs.com/>

Summary:
The French newspaper Le Nouvel Obs is running an online poll, asking
people reactions about Saddam Hussein's hanging. The options are:

- No problem (Normal)
- Outrageous (Scandaleux)
- What about Bush ? (Et Bush alors ?)

You can vote on
http://tempsreel.nouvelobs.com/<http://tempsreel.nouvelobs.com/> on the right,
where the title is "Saddam Hussein condamné à la
pendaison" (Saddam Hussein sentenced to hanging).

It's interesting that such a mainstream newspaper dared to offer this
3rd option. I can't imagine seeing this in the New York Times or any
American newspaper!

Interestingly, almost half (48.2%) of the 8246 voters chose the 3rd
Option... L

5. There is a distinction.
I do not have a distaste for French people. I have a distaste for "The French."

Sort of how people in Europe don't have a distaste for people from the USA, they have a distaste for "Americans."
