It would of course be futile to tell you that France is standing up for international law (sovereignty) and an aversion to war (war=death), and not for Saddam. Yes it would be futile.. Because the UN resolutions that ended the Gulf War have been violated and that war is technically ready to recommence with the aim of forcing compliance through regime change. Sovereignty extends to countries, not to individual governments. Despotic regimes, non-accountable to their people, and oppressive in nature, have no right to be accorded the same sovereign protections as a country with a democratically elected government.. That would be like saying any thug gang lord has "sovereignty" in his individual 'hood, and thus should be accorded the protection of the UN... Rule by fear is not a right to rule.... Hawk
