Because it was the french who wanted to cripple his precious Germany
Clemenceau wanted Germany treated harshly so they were unable to invade again, they had already invaded twice in his life time (Franco Prussian war and ww1). he also wanted them punished harshly because it was what the people of France wanted and if he wanted to stay in office he would have to punish them harshly. Germany also caused a great deal of damage to Frances infrastructure, human life and economy.
France - Wanted Revenge because of the fact that Germany had invaded them 40 years previous to World War One.America - wanted peace.Britain - wanted justice, not revenge. Believed that some element of peace should be kept but went around winning elections under the subterfuge of making Germany pay.
The United States had a proposal to punish Germany after World War II. In particular, there was a proposal by US Secretary of the Treasury James Morgenthau known as "The Morgenthau Plan". It called for the destruction of the entire industrial capability of Germany and making Germany into a purely agrarian country. The proposal was vetoed by the Allied Powers.
