France is screwing their ally by sending lobbyists to Africa to buy the Security Council Vote. Russia and Germany, while not going to those decieving extents, are causing turmoil on the matter as well.
And the reason these countries are causing such resistance is because of the multi-billion dollar contracts offered by Saddam.

If these countries would of backed their allies & strengthened the U.N. with backing its own resolutions instead of casuing weakness and near collapse of the U.N.'s cause, than Saddam would have already been out of power.

Personally, I don't find that hillarious and I myself will be boy cotting any French made item sold here in the United States. If Germany and Russia continue this pursuit than I think their goods should boycotted as well.

Germany even issued a statment to the Bush Administration hoping that friendship can still be formed between our two countries after the Iraq dispute is finished.
