This Weekend's Whine Fest

Even the Germans are now talking about a new "axis" between France, Germany and Russia. Anytime that words Germany and axis are used in the same sentence, it can't be a good thing.

This meeting of the Pro-Saddam axis this weekend is proof positive of their unwillingness to admit to reality. They plan to "discuss the role of the United Nations, the reconstruction of Iraq, and closer cooperation between the EU and Russia."

Unless this is going to be a molehill among the summits of history, they had better be planning on discussing the formation of the new Euro-Soviet Union - in all aspects and details. Even Kofi Annan has noticed that the coalition seems to be against giving the UN a role in rebuilding Iraq - he stayed home in New York. How much is there to discuss about the UN's role? Buy food; give it to hungry people in third world nations. There you go, we're done discussing the role of the UN.

It's a shame that the leaders of three formerly so great nations are now reduced to holding formal whine fests like this will be.

Of course it is nice to see the Germans offering to send the Wehrmacht Bundeswehr overseas as a "peacekeeping" force. Maybe that's part of the whole axis idea.........
