The Irony

Most anti-Iraq war folks blame Bush for going at it alone. The other way to look at it, of course, is to blame Chirac and Schroeder for forcing us to go at it alone by leaving us high and dry in the UN.

Now, we have two American-friendly administrations in both Germany and France, two administrations (not sure whether they are called that in G and F) who would've supported the Iraq war in the first place. In France, a neoconservative has been appointed the foreign minister. Interesting. Just when the majority of Americans have grown tired of Iraq and the administration is looking for backdoors out, and the Blair government is done in the UK, our other two cold war allies are changing their tune.

The world is goofy like that.
