France is a democratic nation. If the people of France oppose war, then it's the obligation of their government to oppose war, as well.
Whether this is "right" in the US context is a separate argument, but this is the will of a nation-state.
The will of the US is always right...? Whether I side with France's position is not of concern to them. They have made their decision (and I hope it is indeed the will of their people, and not of some politico) and that is the state we have to deal with. Jay Leno making remarks won't influence them.
