There's also a lot of puzzlement in Europe as to why we are picking on the French all the time, when Russia and China were equally opposed and equally likely to use the veto. The "le Monde" newspaper said, very unkindly, that it may be related to the size of those other countries. -- The Philadelphia Talk Radio Politics and Opinion Forum
