so what do we do with Iran?...they are a known supporter of terrorism...they have WMD...they were involved with 9/11 (have al qaeda elements operating under their protection)...this is all the criteria we needed to go after Iraq...now do we invade them too?

the French are well...French...they lead at nothing but instigating quarrels...their opinion is limited and often hedged as they will never really stick their heads out...so best result is to ignore them just like the British normally do
