Sure their an ally but why should I not be pissed at france? They've told us they don't care what plan we offer they will VETO anything involving force. I'm sorry but force is going to be neccessary against Iraq. This man won't leave on his own accord, he won't improve his treatment of his people, and he'd rather destroy it all than let anyone else take over. Sooner or later War will happen in iraq.
Its not so much even the disagreement that I'm pissed at. Its the fact that they don't care what resolution we come up with or what proof we find, they won't sign of on war just because its war. The french president was quoted as saying "To us, War equals Failure" All surrender jokes aside I agree with this comment. Wars means the failure of diplomacy.
When diplomacy fails then war is neccessary to bring things back to rights. You can't just ignore atrocities and hope they go away, you can't just sit back and say its not my problem, you can't push a diplomatic resolution when its not being listened to. War doesn't happen because its fun, war happens because there are no other options that will work. To ignore that and do nothing once diplomacy fails will send a green light to Saddam, N. Korea and anyone else that has a beef with us to come join the fun and kick the harmless USA in the ass while it can.
