"We will not allow a resolution to pass that authorizes resorting to force," French Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin said at a press conference in Paris. "Russian and France, as permanent members of the Security Council, will assume their full responsibilities on this point."

In many ways, I'm glad this Iraq situation has gone the way it has. It has proven to me that absolutely EVERYTHING we have done for the world in general (Defense from Communism, Humanitarian Aid, Freedom of millions from despotic rulers to name a few) means absolutely nothing to most of the world population. We have learned who are true friends are and who just likes the American dollar.
After Iraq is liberated, and tons of hidden WMD are destroyed. You will see a different world and an enlightened American populous. We now know where we stand with many of our former allies, and in my opinion many billions af dollars of aid should come home to the citizens of America.
For many years we were the ONLY nation to even TRY to think about the needs of other nations, and when it came time for the nations of the world to help remove a Stalinist dictator from power. Those nations thought of their own interests (and money) instead of the greater good.
In effect, they are backing an evil dictator proven to kill women and children for weapons tests and opposing a government that has helped the world in thousands of ways just because they perceive that it isn't in their own interests.
Thanks for the wake up call France and Germany, we appreciate your input. Now sit down and watch the UN become insignificant from its own incompetance of enforcing its own 18 resolutions.
As always, we will lead the way and bear the cost in money and lives.... this time however, you're on your own. Hasta la vista...
