MD - I also put the French Ambassador's quote from November 8, 2002 at the UN on the FINAL resolution. You aksed a good question. "Why do the French NOT support our position and the War in Iraq?". They DID support us publicly. Then they backed out later. We waited 4 months after the 30 day ultimatum was passed by the UN.

Unfortunately for the French people, They have a government with no courage.
