Touchy and paranoid too.

I support the French being able to vote in the UN though. Do you not support that? Should they vote our way or no way?

Well, I guess voting is OK. Even voting their way. Wow, don't you think it's great that a bigot like me can go that far?

But let's cut the nonsense and get down to it. Agreeing to one thing in negotiations with our Secretary of State,

("to afford Iraq, by this resolution, a final opportunity to comply".."it will face serious consequences" - key passages from UN Res. 1441)

and then at a crucial point announcing that they will veto implementing what they'd previously agreed to - well that is just devious back-stabbing on France's part.

Yes, I believe Powell when he gave that angry speech in the UNSC. He said that EVERY UNSC member knew EXACTLY what the language in the most recent UN resolution meant when they voted 15-0 for it.

I don't think that duplicity like France's is worthy of solidarity by honorable people. And I don't think intelligent and honorable Americans will express such solidarity.
