Many analysts say France's opposition to Bush reflects a broader goal of turning the EU into a counterweight to America, rather than a partner.

Translation: An enemy.

But that plan has no chance of succeeding. Only Belgium and Germany have signed on to France's delusion.

Chirac/Schroder: another pair of nitwits who underestimated Bush.

Agreed. France is bound to fail. Even the leftie Brit papers are trashing France and mocking the protesters. France has Germany and Belgium in their corner. Big whoop, neither has a vote on the UN security counsil. Let the Germans and Belgium keep their troops at home. The allies we have now are more than enough to do the job. France's delusions that they are an important world power will be shattered in the days to come.
