Once again-- I do not supports Bush's unilateralism

Once again - Nobody cares if you support Bush. You support his invasion of Iraq. And that is what we are discussing.

Oh and by the way, the invasion you supported WAS unilateral.

It is obvious that the failure in Rwanda is due to the US, the failure to act in the Balkans was french and, especially German indifference, and the failure in Iraq is due to the US making the wrong case and french special interests.

No such thing is "obvious", at least in the case of "French special interests". Let us solve this once and for all. Can you deny the below:
(1) France trade with US is much more of a source of income than what they stood to gain as a state from the continuation of Saddam's regime
(2) The best way to insure the sovereign debt France is owed by Iraq would be to support the US and make a deal for its rapid recuperation
(3) Thereby, French would also have a foot in the door for the lucrative oil & construction deals in Iraq.

And once again - there was no genocide in Iraq in the year 2003 that needed intervention. Stop trying to make it look like there was some genocide and nobody was doing anything about it.

I understand you have a soft heart. But try to think with your head and you will see where all this is going.
