Before everyone jumps back on the I hate France bandwagon again, let's keep in mind that *any* resolution put before the UN will be reviewed carefully by all countries. And nobody is saying anything but "we'll look at it" so far.

I'm shocked - shocked, I tell you - to learn that people who were being bitchslapped by Rummy and Co. are skeptical of anything put forward by someone who did the bitchslapping.

Have these people no shame?

France and Germany have already said it doesn't give the U.N. (i.e. them) enough control. A sure way to lose the peace is to hand over control to the U.N.

Mostly I was making fun of CNN ;)

Sean: Yea, we're doing such a great job now. We should hand it to the UN so we can blame them again for a situation that we can't deal with ourselves.

Love it!

"A sure way to lose the peace is to hand over control to the U.N."

Oh, the irony.

Must...resist...temptation...to...laugh...at...Sean.

Well . . . that's not true. The UN isn't a democracy. The only countries that really matter in resolution-voting are the P5. If all of them are onboard -- or, in China's case alone, at least not in opposition to the resolution -- then the resolution is almost guaranteed to pass. That's the history of UN voting in a nutshell.

The chocolate eaters will eventually join the coalition when they're sure it's safe.
