War is never pretty...

Gee, I never took you to be the type to be against the war.

You can sign an online petition for the French to veto any UN resolution authorizing war.

International Appeal for a French Veto at the Security Council of the United Nations

To the President of the French Republic:

Mr. President,

According to the rules of the United Nations, each permanent member, i.e. China, the United States, France, Great Britain and Russia, has the sovereign power to block any Security Council resolution.

Enormous pressure is being exerted on leaders, on States and on public opinion, to start a war against Iraq with unfathomable consequences.

Public opinion in your country, as in many other countries, is opposed to this war.

Because France has means of action that other countries in Europe and in the rest of the world do not have and that it is thus in charge of a responsibility of historical import,

we ask of you:

In virtue of the power given you by the constitution of your country and of the power bequeathed you by the rules of the United Nations;

To demand that any war declaration made against Iraq be put to the vote at the Security Council;

To use France's right of veto to block any resolution that would allow the start of a war against Iraq
