Regardless of how well the removal of Saddam Hussein has gone, the pretence
for war was to remove a clear and present chemical and/or biological threat.
It's kind of clear there wasn't one, which was France's opinion all along
(and the reason for the veto against the stated reason for war) and now all
those offensive vetoing nations have been proved right. Isn't it time Bush
made an apology to the French people for all the slurs his politicians and
populace have so mistakenly made, live on international TV? :^)

Disagreeing with the US position was absolutely acceptable. Vetoing a UN
resolution (even though one was never submitted) would have been acceptable as
well. Telling eastern Europe that if they want in to the EU they need to stop
supporting the US crosses the line from working in your own national self
interest to interfering in an other countries percieved national self interest.
Totally unacceptable from a supposed "friendly" nation.
