As I've mentioned, I deplore this stupid, unjustified, pre-emptive, and
distracting war. Having said that, my impression has been that France,
China, and Russia are particularly demonized at least in part because they
have presented themselves as morally pure on this issue, when in fact they
are largely protecting their own financial interests in the region. It's
their hypocrisy that's being criticized, not to mention the pure arrogance

if nations want to protect their investments (except Cheney's investments in
Iraq, of course), but those nations shouldn't pretend that they're motivated
solely by righteousness.
Dave!
