Can you explain to me why France had taken the posture nearly a year ago, that the restrictions imposed by the UN against Iraq should be lifted, and now, since the overthrow of Hussein, become steadfast in their resolve to make sure the restrictions are kept in place?
It doesn't matter why. The U.N. is a group effort. You make it sound like everyone has a moral obligation to do whatever the U.S. says, and that any lack of cooperation is suspect.

France is no longer a "super power."
As opposed to all those "superpowers" that formed the bulk of our "coalition of the willing"?

(The French) haven't been of any appreciable value for over a century. They've been nothing more than a piece of real estate that keeps Spain from being an island.
... If we're looking for "arrogance" in a nation, they are the poster boys of the issue. ...The French are incapable of handling their own affairs.
... they need to cuddle up to the Germans again, because nobody loves them.
By the way. There's a town in Minnesota that used to be named French. They are changing their name to Freedom.
That's what's nice about debating with some people. All you have to do is let them talk long enough and they'll spout bigoted, posturing garbage that discredits them without help from anyone else.
