Steve Den Beste is not happy with the way things are going with the UN, or that they're going there at all. Says he, we can't do this diplomatically because our opponents in the diplomatic wars aren't above fudging, maneuvering and outright lying and we are. I'd love to disagree but my nightly check of French headlines didn't have a single story up top about the Al-Samoud 2 missiles and whether they'd be destroyed, which is to say that while we worry about winning Europe's favor, the powers to be aren't even driving home for their citizenry what is at stake. Chirac says the inspections need more time. But the inspections have already turned up illegal missiles and there's no plan to get rid of them, only threats from the UN that will remain empty so long as France is more concerned about measuring Chirac's cojones versus Bush's than what its games are doing to the UN's prestige and even its raison d'être. We in the US are reading this. In France? It's all rally 'round the anti-American flag.* * *
