"Senator John F. Kerry said yesterday that President Bush committed a ''breach of trust'' in the eyes of many United Nations members by going to war with Iraq, creating a diplomatic chasm that will not be bridged as long as Bush remains in office."

Hey, Kerry, do you know how the Presidential election works? It's called the electoral college. At present, there are 539 electoral votes; you need more than half (at least 270) to win decisively. Now, how many electoral votes do you get from the French? Zero. How many electoral votes do you gain in America from placating the French? About -200. How many electoral votes come from any United Nations member state except the United States of America? Zero. How many electoral votes do you gain from American States by appeasing various tyrants who happen to hold sway in the United Nations? Almost -300. Maybe you should start caring about the needs of the American people, not weaseling appeasement just because weak Frogs an Ocean away cannot stomach reality?
