Note that the French didn't actually *betray* anyone over Iraq,
Really, what about the Iraqi people? They got screwed over in
numerous ways. The French had their fingers in the oil for food
scandal. They were cutting lucrative deals with Sadam and happily
burning the oil.
A vote in the Security Council is democracy in action. Sometimes
it doesn't go your way. Get used to it.
The UN is a debating society, and a rather ineffectual one at that.
They screwed the Iraqi people even more than the French with oil for
food, If I had my way, America would with draw it's membership and
financial support from the UN. What kind of a fool would allow Sudan
to chair the Human Rights Commission?
The real problem is that the US is all for majority rule, as long
as it is part of the majority, but when the shoe is on the other
You conveniently ignore that Sadam had, and used WMD. The UN gave him
orders to account for certain materials and he ignored them. We
decided that the world would be better off with one less tin horn
