“Faced with the behavior of North Korea and Iran, multilateralism must be effective, not doing anything would be to resign ourselves to threats to peace and international stability,” –Jacques Chirac

Why anyone would take France or Chirac seriously is beyond my understanding at this point.  After their rants about the Hezbo-Israeli war, wanting a UN peacekeeping force sent in (headed by them of course), then offering 200 of their own to contribute while expecting thousands from other nations (whil still expecting to maintain leadership over the mission). I have zero respect and give no weight to anything they say.

The UN as we all know, is a waste of money, and ultimately the biggest Sham of the post WW2 world.  Look at its history.

Now France and China are going to keep in contact to find a peaceful solution to the problem nations North Korea and Iran?  My thoughts are; isnt it a bit late to talk about it now?  North Korea has tested a nuclear weapon, wants to test again, and is no stranger to black market deals, and aiding anyone who will meet their prices.  Iran has been dodging UN mandates and deadlines since before the Hezbo-Israeli war, and they have made no secret about their desires and intentions.  President Ahmadinejad openned his UN address with a prayer for Armageddon.  He consistently denies the holocaust, calls for the violent destruction of Israel, and America at that. 

The threats are already past being avoided.  You cant talk North Korea into giving up their nuclear technology, Clinton made that clear.

This is insanity, and Im afraid the spineless appeasers of our world are going to cost us all very dearly before this whole thing plays out.
