I think they did ask for more time. I think the human tragedy trumps any talk of footing bills... My point is that the countries not involved don't get to ask for more time. Footing bills is very important to the issue of being involved or not. so I attach very little importance to the money aspects. Well then your view gets its appropriate level of concern, zero! Further, you make action/inaction sound somewhat like a prize in a contest about who gets to hell with the rights to the hottest spot by the fire. If they were as clever and inactive as you claim they were, Bush gave them the perfect reason to sit out and plaid perfectly into their hands. We inherited a hellish mess in Iraq, subsequently discovered to be an avoidable mess. Who is that fool by the fire? What? Speak English! Why don't you just say whatever it is you are trying to say? I can't understand you.... The UN is as strong and orderly as the degree to which its members are willing to abide by its rules. I'd like to hear your thoughts if France had been acting unilaterally against the wishes of the security council. Frankly many Americans don't give a damn about the UN because it allows non-democratic goverments to abuse the system. A non-democratic government is anathema to US values, so we Americans in general don't approve of that. As for whether France were acting unilaterally against the wishes of the security council, we don't give a flying fuck. The UN said Saddam is a bad man, and when the coalition made efforts to remove him (a DECADE later), France screwed it up. That's the US's view.
