FRANCE BLOCKS NATO WAR PLANNING, blares a February 10 CNN.com headline. But click through and you find a story about how France, Germany, and Belgium vetoed moves to prepare Turkey for war with Iraq.

But it's not so much because they can't stand America's muscular capitalism, military might, and can-do attitude. It's because they love France. How else to explain the fact that the French were anti-British, anti-German, and anti-Spanish (to...
