Amy, <China Calls for Immediate Halt to War on Iraq>

The same China that rolled tanks over student protesters in Tiennamen Square? I would not take China's statement as anything other than obstructionism from a potential competing superpower.

Meanwhile, South Korea has expressed support for the war:

South Korea's newly inaugurated President Roh Moo-hyun Wednesday pledged his country's support for the U.S.-led military strike on Iraq, saying that Seoul was working to head off any adverse effect it might have on relations with North Korea.

In a televised address shortly after the war in Iraq began, Roh said he believed the military action was taken "upon the failure of diplomatic efforts to resolve the Iraqi problem in a peaceful manner."

Roh said Seoul would provide support on a humanitarian, economic, and medical level in post-war Iraq, as well as help strengthen the military.

...

The Korea Times reported that Roh had pledged to dispatch up to 750 non-combat troops to Iraq.

The U.S. State Department says South Korea is one of 30 member countries -- including the U.S. -- of what it has called the "Coalition for the Immediate Disarmament of Iraq."

Hi Amy,
If you read the print re: the UN charter, you'll
find that it does not preclude one nation going
to war with another without the sanction of the UN.

My take on it is; the main reason that China is opposed
to the war is that when it's over, chinese printing
will be found on certain "objects" that were "not
supposed to be" in Iraq. Same applies with the French.
The Germans are trying to forget WWII, and the Russians
are to poor to take any action at all.
Regards.
