In America, they are known as the "Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys" via The Simpsons TV show.

After 9-11, the Americans were so angry at the French attitude that they renamed French Fries into Freedom Fries. No one has forgotten that, because that was kind of funny.

Now everyone is suppose to feel sorry for them the French.

Did they sorry for anyone else when stuff like this happens to someone else? Of course not.

Heck, there was a big bombing in Turkey, terrorist attack. Yet no one was talking about invoking NATO Article 5 dragging NATO into another war.

Then Hollande has to ask Putin come help.
