This weekend in St. Petersburg, French, German, and Russian leaders meet to coordinate the next stage in the their diplomatic battle against the US over Iraq. France, Germany, and Russia want Iraqs reconstruction to be handled by the UN rather than the US-British alliance. They seem determined to present a unified front to pressure the alliance into yielding post-war reconstruction. It is clear, however, that the ultimate decision on this is entirely in the hands of Washington. And Washington certainly appears disinclined toward such a course of action.

Good morning, all. Our troops had another outstanding 24 hours.
French, Russian, German and the UN don't yet understand that the the future of Iraq is up to the Iraqi people. Thank goodness Jay Garner, Tommy Franks and President Bush understand that the order of the looting post-Saddam shows the will of the Iraqi people in action.
