"He vowed to transform the venomous relations with Washington that
prevailed under his predecessor, Jacques Chirac,"
Chirac was against the war in Iraq before it started, yes.

"Yankee phobia may not be as toxic or universal as some pundits, mainly on
the American left, claim."
People on the left (and usually in the opposition) are tend to be more aware
of what's going on. Of course both sides flavour their points of view with
special ingredients as needed.

"But behind the surveys about "why they hate us" lies a reservoir of goodwill

"1 The French hate us."
The French hate all foreigners, especially tourists.

Rest of the myths weren't important in any way.


Quite useless stuff coming from washington post, I'm surprised.
