Hawk, I am sorry to see that you have become so vehemently anti-French because of France not supporting the Iraq policy of Mr. Bush.
I'm sorry to see that you so vehemently support Chirac's attempt at protecting Saddam Hussein over the past 13 years (including Desert Storm)..
And I'm sorry to see how you apparently believe the UN should remain a debating society, where it's binding resolutions are only relevant if France, Germany, and Russia, decide to participate in enforcing them.
The last I checked there were 192 countries that the US recognizes. And 48 of those governments either supported, or participated, in the enforcement of those UNSC resolutions.

I would dislike Mr. Putin just as much, had he been foolish enough to threaten to veto taking action against Iraq, one of it's major arms buyers and oil partners...
But only Chirac had the utter gall to put French partisan economic interests above the combined will of the UN and 48 other nations.
But most of all, I dislike the French people who, when polled, expressed their support for a Saddam victory over the US..
I told you this before... It's not that they didn't support Bush, but that they sought the defeat of American forces on the field of battle.. Forces that were engaged in enforcing international requirements voted against Iraq by the UN.
It's one thing to think the Bush administration is acting rashing in enforcing 12 years of UNSC resolutions against Iraq.. People can honestly disagree about these things.
But it's QUITE ANOTHER to actively hope for (and possibly support) the defeat of American forces and loss of US soldiers.
It makes me cringe to think we wasted a single American life during WWII in the effort to liberate that country from Nazi occupation..
