sarettah, sorry, but France is just an itch... people are hoping to scratch it and make it go away... but like any itch, that could be an indication of a more serious problem.
Don't get lost in the details, don't lose site of the forest because of the trees... stand back a few paces, and see what this has to do in the overall situation. Try to find the reasons that France supported UN resolution 1441 but cannot support to current call for quick military action.
Most importantly, ask this simple question: Is Saddam any more of a problem than he was a month ago? Is he any more likely to use weapons of mass destruction today than he was in December? While inspections continue, that answer is no. Is Saddam building more weapons of mass destruction right now? I don't think he would do that while inspections are ongoing. So the question is: Why military action today instead of in a month, or 2 months, or 6 months?
All the boycotting of things french (and german, and russian, see :
http://www.dw-world.de/english/0,3367,1430...623_1_A,00.html ) doesn't change the situation. Answer the question above honestly, without spin, without getting into "they have missles that go 5 miles further than they are suppose to, maybe, possibly perhaps" and try to figure out why there are a number of people and counties that are having a hard time with all of this...
