Or is it just because the french were such an ass for not going to war with US?

Yes I am talking about France's obstructionism in the EU, among other things. And I don't know what you mean when you say that other countries were "attacking" France.
>France was doing quite well at not creating strife.
In 2002 and 2003, France participated in military interventions in multiple military interventions in Côte d'Ivoire, Liberia and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
In the 1960s under De Gaulle, France supplied Israel with Mirage fighter jets and large quantities of small arms, along with being Israel's staunchest supporter in the UN. France also provided Israel with nuclear weapons (great idea!). There was also, you know, the Algerian war of independence... between those two things I think that France did more to create anti-western Islamic terrorism than the US ever did.
France is constantly stomping around invading people. I have no idea why you think they are doing "quite well at not creating strife", just because they opposed one war.
