French are proud and independant but not arrogant, and certainly no more xenophobic than any other people around the world. Some would say that USA are arrogant, racist and imperialist. However i don't, because i am educated enough to know american history and key figures from George Washington and Benjamin Franklin to Henry Kissinger to understand the heart of Americans and even sometimes feel like one of them (actually i do admire a lot Abraham Lincoln but really despise Kissinger).
And this goes for any other country including Jens Schoenfeld's Germany 
I agree that it is a shame that France sells weapons to any other country.
Sorry, you're probably right that the French are no more arrogant then any other country.
And Kissinger is easy to despise.
Also, as I've mentioned, we owe the French a debt for their involvement in our own revolution.
As to Jen's homeland, many of the people I interact with on the internet are German.
They're generally pretty bright people.
Still, I'm not sure what any of this has to do with the Apollo.
