Ummm nothing rascist was said against the French im always concious of this, I dont see a problem with sharing personal beliefs in an issue as im not in a mutual position unlike your particular role as Admin here.

I cannot stress enough my disbelief regarding the French attitude, seeing as they made it quite clear they would vito any further attempts by the US/UK to pursue a peaceful alternative. From Germany its understandable as there is always friction there, but the French owe the USA far more seeing as they were liberated by this country during the 1940`s.

For anyone that might not have understood what was happening in the UN, basically the US/UK and Spain were trying to include a further resolution, to improve on the floundering peace process, and the French decided that whatever the resolution was about they would vito (block) this new resolution as soon as it emerged, not even considering it, in a pig-headed irrational attitude.

That was the final straw and faced with a failed peace process by an irrational permanant member of the UN, they had little option but to go to war to disarm Sadam.
