ummm.... thats a very tolerant attitude you have - imagine that sort of attitude on a national level, and you might get some idea why north america seems to put alot of peoples backs up...... .
That attitude is directed at immigrants who "might be offended," not my fellow citizens.

that could be your problem right there - if all you learn is how great your cournty is/was, that will naturally lead to a national feeling of arrogance.... ALOT more can be learned of your nations failings....and how to make sure they dont happen again...
We learn both. But people ignore history, hence liberals exist. And if you're going to tell me not to teach my country the greatness of their own country, then I'm not going to listen to you and just feel sorry. I do have a sense of national pride.

ummm, France is a peacekeeping nation - you seen them wage wars on anyone for the alleged benefit of the planet?, nope.
Have you heard of Ivory Coast?

And if France is such a great peacekeeping nation, why the hell is the United States keeping peace in Eastern Europe? Why did you need the United States to fix two world wars, and recently Serbia?

see, cos unlike the USA thay DONT see themselves as the best country in the world,
You've apparently never been to France.
