Let me play Devil's Advocate for a moment. Maybe we ought to consider letting the French in if they want to come along. They don't deserve it, but it would make Bush look magnanamous and take the wind out of the sails of everyone who says he has alienated our allies, etc. It also makes the French look even worse (if that's possible) because it shows beyond the shadow of a doubt to anyone who wasn't already convinced that their obstruction wasn't about principle or love of peace but just plain naked power politics. This may be a case where giving them what they want would be the best punishment of all. Any thoughts on this?

France is now hinting it may have a change of heart only because there is a definite regime change about to occur in Iraq and the Kurdish Prime Minister Barhim Salih said that, post-change, any and all french and Russian oil contracts would not be honored.

Enlightening, isn't it? President Bush had stated "Either you're with us, or...". I take the french threat to veto any/all U.N. language on Iraq to be the "OR". Since they chose that side of the fence, they'll just have to cope with the weeds in their garden too.

Sounds like a smart idea, and what will probably happen. France, as smarmy as they are, are still useful idiots.
They just need to be controlled, lol.
