I'm not sure I see your point, is this supposed to
offset argumenst against the ones responsible for
the greates nuclear buildup so far in human history? :^)


Typical, try to divert the point. The point is, France disregarded a long
standing UN commitment against nuclear testing. Was there a resolution
preventing it? No, just as there was no UN resolution *against* armed action
against Iraq, in fact the last resolution passed concerning Iraq threatened
severe actions should Iraq not fully comply with UNSCM. Face it, France and
every other nation in Europe abides by the UN when it fits nicely with their
plans and disregards it when it doesn't, just like US and nearly every other
nation on the planet.

If you want to do some research I would reccomend some
reading on the US oposition to the Comprehensive
Test Ban Treaty, which the US has yet to ratify even
though Clinton signed it -- 7 years ago.

Again, diverting the subject. The subject is; Europe always obeys the UN and
the US doesn't.

You might notice that France has both signed and
ratified the treaty (in 1998).


After they completed their live testing of their latest warheads. The US
hasn't had a live test in over 25 years.

In all, the US track-record on UN vetos, boicots and
non-ratifications is not exactly a shining example of
world cooperation.

And I'm sure if you choose to investigate France, Russia, the UK and China
you'de find similar "track records".
