you're creating a moral scale where France is good and America is bad. Oh really??? I assume you could then proceed to show WHERE I have EVER alleged ANYTHING of the sort. I have said France was RIGHT and America was WRONG in the issue of invading Iraq. I have said NOTHING with even a passing resemblance to good/bad/evil/etc. neither has a monopoly on what is "right." Nobody has monopoly over "right". IN THIS ISSUE, however, France was right. Take a look at the thousands of Iraqi civilians killed, international law left in tatters, America's loss of credibility, the lies about WMDs exposed, etc. They all show how right France was in saying this war was unnecessary, the case for it was shaky at best, and that it would get the US into unnecessary trouble without advancing the war on terrorism. Not on all issues and certainly not all the time. But on THIS issue, in 2002-2003, France was right. Hindsight is 20/20 and that is exactly what it is telling us at this point.
