France, by using it's right to veto USA decision wasn't doing
some declaration of war but using it's freedom of speech.
We weren't against war, unlike everyone in USA wants to think,
but just wanting to leave more time to the UN to check for weapons
for the inspectors there asked for more time.
USA used it's veto 4 times more than France did, BTW. We never insult
our american friends each time their gvt did.
Please note that for a mad dictator that's got SO MUCH deadly
weapons (if I refer to our governments announcements), not a single one was fired.
Another thing, USA if by far a more interesting ally for France IRAK
ever was, whatever the point of view.
Note also that D.Rumsfeld ratified in 1983 the cooperation treaty bewteen IRAK and USA.
France wasn't alone as usual. Note also that France was at war
with IRAK during the first gulf war, and at cold since then.
As for the WWII comments, I have ancestors that fought to make USA alive, going with Lafayette troops to help raising this Great country.
Finally, forgive my bad english. all I wanted to say is that many
people shoots Europe all time round, but the fact is, we aren't the
enemy unlike everyone wants us to be.
Just be careful, Propaganda might be the enemy.
