Anton, Why are you worried about how the US feels about France? You don't live in either of these countries so it doesn't really concern you. It was not a 'gift'. The US built have of it, a French sculptor designed the frame. They displayed it in France for a while before handing it over to the US. It wasn't made solely for the purpose of a 'peace gift'. If it were a gift then WE wouldn't have spent OUR money on building it.
