April 9, 2003 -- WASHINGTON - France, Germany and Russia - the coalition of the unwilling that tried to block the Iraq war - yesterday said they'll huddle this weekend with U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan to map their post-Saddam strategy.

One of the vital roles the U.N. will play is distributing toilet paper. One role per person....

France? France?! That name rings a bell. Haven't I heard of them somewhere before?

Apologies for stealing this line but it is just sooo appropriate.

Then they'll see whether France and Russia try to block it as they tried to block the war.

Someone on the live thread suggested that we drop leaflets in Iraq with the names of the people and countries that didn't want them to be free of Saddam. Then they can decide who helps them.

For a minute, I thought this was a post about Geraldo Rivera.

Just declare war on France and the UN. Get it over.

The return trip from irrelevancy is a bitch.

I like it - letting them know that unless they actually do their job, they will continue to be ignored. Some may think it nuts to even allow the UN to have another vote, but this could well set the terms for its continued existence as anything more than a third-world coffee club.
