European Allies?
Germany's Schroeder said he ``sees no need to deviate'' from proposals he made at a security conference in Munich on Feb. 12, where he said the ``dialogue between the EU and the U.S., in its current form, neither reflects Europe's growing weight nor corresponds with new requirements of trans-Atlantic cooperation.''

US President George W Bush has voiced "deep concern" about European plans to lift an arms embargo on China - putting him at odds with the French president. Jacques Chirac insisted the ban was "no longer justified"...

France's national library has raised a "war cry" over plans by Google to put books from some of the world's great libraries on the Internet and wants to ensure the project does not lead to a domination of American ideas.

Germans may disagree with Bush's pledges to promote democracy, but there's another American imperialist whose ideas they seem to agree with more and more: Ronald McDonald. When Germans say they are more likely to purchase German goods than American ones, they clearly don't mean fast food

The problem with the damn frenchies is they get pissed off at America spreading its culture but all they do is raise a stink about it. They are unwilling to become the economic and cultural powerhouse necessary to compete with America's pervasive cultural influence. The world shares many American cultural ideas (not ideals) because we have a country that out sells, out thinks, and out produces the rest of the world. France can moan about US ideas coming into their stinky, hairy country, but man oh man where do they get off thinking they should have any right to say what culture the world accepts when they haven't worked to be a cultural influence. ... this just in, the French surrender!
i was thinking along the same lines. instead of complaining about it, why dont they develope a google rival? although im generally not a fan of american pop culture i did see matrix reloaded in a full theater in where of all places? paris, france...
