I feel France is involved in dirty dealing for economic reasons. Living in California offers a great look into how silly France is as a country. 2x the population, same socialist economy and a smaller GDP. Just makes me laugh. I not exactly a fan of the French. However, I do recognize them as a sovereign nation and that it was the US that started the bullying on this UN vote. My preference would be to dump the UN, quit looting the taxpayers to send money overseas to aid any country, and get busy busting the chops of globalists who want to regulate/control world trade. National defense should be exactly that, and we could roll back all the blatantly fascist legislation that's been rolling off the congressional presses in recent years. We've got a lot more serious things to worry about than France and Iraq.

I agree 110% with your statements. A soverign nation in legitimate diplomacy is one thing. Last I heard France was actively advancing ideals to certain nations with the direct goal of thwarting the USA. An act of war in my opinion. As far as the UN goes I give more respect to my local government in Davis, CA than those idiots. And that ain't saying much.
