Given that 2 of the 3 ( France, Germany and Russia) on the UN Security Council appeared to be more concerned about protecting their financial interests in Iraq (some of which are turing out to be of an illicit nature) instead of living up to UN Resolution 1441 (which they agreed to enforce but welched on), they can politely sod off.

I found it sickening that when those three found out they would be barred from bidding on the initial reconstruction contracts after the invasion, they threw a screaming FIT to the UN.

The phrase "gutless, spineless parasites" come to mind, but in the spirit of detente, I'll keep my thoughts (especially towards the joke that passes itself off as the French political system) to myself...



Unfortuneatly, none of the above is listed in the by-laws or fine print of the UN Governing Laws as to when and why a country who dissents from a UN ruling can go out and do their own thing. Don't you ever think there has been times when the US has been heavy handed in their tactics on UN rulings, protected our financial or security interests, and we've expected everyone to abide by those very UN rulings?

See..you want it both ways. You want to "cry foul" that the Iraqi's didn't live up to the UN resolution, but then you want to dismiss that very governing body when "things didn't go our way." Sorry..you can't have it both ways. You either play by the rules, or you are a rule breaker, OR you don't play by the rules. Take your pick...
