France has staked out a position on Iraq in opposition to the American one. But it has also been nervous about the rise of strong anti-French sentiment in the United States. The French ambassador to Washington, Jean-David Levitte, has been trying to assure the American public that France is a loyal ally grateful for American help in the world wars of the last century.

Where is the evidence of "strong anti-French sentiment"? (More simply, where is the evidence of any sentiment about France?) It seems more like a sentiment of indifference about France.
