Regardless if you agree with a friendly nations act(s) or not, if they are to remain on that friendly list you don't go about begging others to join in blocking those acts(our stupid move to get UN permission for war---the UN's permission?) France wiped out most if not all of its goodwill w/this nation by its obvious anti-American stance...other nations disagreed with us but only France went that extra mile trying to appease the Arab and so called non aligned Third World by blocking EVERY move we tried prior to war...
