I don\'t think we really care much about the Veto. It\'s symbolic at best. Russia and France both have direct oil ventures in Iraq so it is a joke that they even have a vote to begin with.

The UN is going down the drain after this is all over with. I still am surprised we are even trying to get 9 votes - it shows just how ridiculous the UN really is as an effective world body. Why pay these countries for a lousy vote when France is going to veto it anyway. I hope they get this overwith soon so the US can just attack and get it over with.
