The UN made themselves responsible for Iraq, but could not uphold any of their own policies. What Bush did, declaring is selfish righteousness, was horrible, but what France did (and the likes of Germany and Russia), come in at second. Don't get me wrong, I am not trying to downplay our govt horrendous actions, but I do believe the France held a trump card and played it against the UN in the name of their money's involved with Iraq. They were initially against the inspectors, for God's sake! If they had not been so adamant (and us not so quick to shoot) to go against anything suggesting upholding resolutions that they were part of, then perhaps we could have avoided war (a big PERHAPS, but them vetoing a 2nd resolution before one was made was stupid).
I do have an idealistic vision that the UN could be a democracy and influence new govts and further confrontations. To undermine that, or to go against it, suggests that humanity is not ready for world peace. And that's sad (Turkey didn't help matters w/ Nato, either).
My 2.5 cents. They are all fucked up and the world is a big hypocrisy, and yes, the US is the biggest and the easiest to hate.
May God have mercy on Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Chirac ... oh, wait, I am not religious ;-)
