[Vanity] Why didn't France support war on Iraq?

Because French troops have no experience being on the receiving end of a surrender.

No, MrLeRoy. Actually, I think you have it exactly backwards. The US didn't "piss-off," as you so eloquently put it, the UN, the UN "pissed-off," the United States. True, there will be wide-ranging and profound ramifications of this Iraqi war for decades - if not centuries - to come, but it will be both France, and the UN who will be the losers here.

I didn't post one word about the UN. Are you sure you're not responding to Pippy's (now deleted) post?
