They are both derived from Latin with many Greek influences, as are many Western European languages.

Troops in Ivory Coast
This will be the second-largest French military intervention in Africa this year. Paris currently has some 9,000 troops deployed in Africa. Since its 1964 assault on the former French colony of Gabon, French imperialism has intervened militarily in Africa about once a year up to the late 1990s.
To protect French investments in the Ivory Coast, Paris has deployed some 4,000 troops to back the regime of Laurent Gbagbo in that West African country.
well if it doesn't work out, they can always turn it into a nucler test site
That's true. France has some economical interests in Africa and if our army go there, it's just in order to protect those economical interests, not to help the poor black people there. It's just the same thing like USA with Afganistan, Irak, and probably soon Cuba when Castro will die.
But this wasn't the initial subject I don't wan't to participate in a theard entitled "France versus USA", it doesn't make sense. We are all kinda the same people. Americans are the hell fatter of course but it doesn't matter.
