Because we are the good guys. Its that simple. This is entirely about Iraq and Islamic Fascism, something which France is doing little about. Even if they didnt support an invasion, Americans and Iraqis are dying by the thousands, something France could help out with, even doing so little as to simply say loudly and often that islamic fascists are wrong, and the world is right to fight them. They could get the UN to do something about the problems in the world, renounce the human rights violators, reform the organization. Such little things, but instead France chooses to try and recapture some of it once important status in the world. Again, this is why they deserve no respect from us.
