Do the French like anybody? Does anybody like the French?
Ever since world war II the French aristocrats and elite saw Americanization as a threat to their culture and have actively tried to influence anti-american sentiments and hold their own on a pedistal in their own country since then. France's hatred of America is a direct result of our success much more so than any of our foreign policy since the war.
