Today's Question: Is France an Adversary of the U.S.? To vote, click here. To e-mail us your thoughts, click here. Some background: An unbending President Bush was at the United Nations on Tuesday, seeking international support for rebuilding Iraq while resisting pressure to speed up a transfer of power to an Iraqi government and give the United Nations a substantial role in the war-torn nation. Bush was expected to receive a skeptical reception from the world’s leaders in the session, which began with Secretary-General Kofi Annan denouncing “unilateral” military action in an indirect critique of the U.S.-led war to topple Saddam Hussein.

"Relations between France and the United States, often tense, have rarely been less friendly than this year," writes The Washington Post's Peter Slevin. "Only months after the diplomatic blowup over the invasion of Iraq, which became so personal that French toast on menus on Capitol Hill and Air Force One was renamed freedom toast, the two countries are dueling again, this time over who should control Iraq’s reconstruction."     Charles Mims http://www.the-sandbox.org
