Ted,

However, just a little over a month ago, few thought that Russia or France would use their veto over this second Iraq resolution. The global impact of this veto is much greater.

You may be right. Powell was definitely stunned by this. I doubt Russia will use the veto. They may vote no or abstain, but I don't see the veto. I would be very disappointed if Russia vetoed. About France vetoing alone, that would be an interesting question, but it may be academic, since the US/UK is still short of 9 votes needed to pass. Without 9 votes, France can just vote no.
