Chirac (France):
"France regrets this action taken without approval of the United Nations."

Chretien (Canada):
"We do not believe the use of force would be appropriate without a clear indication from the Security Council that that point had been reached."

Putin (Russia):
"Military action can in no way be justified. Military action is a big political error."

Quan (China):
"We urge the relevant countries to stop using force, to stop military action. The Iraqi question must return to the track of political settlement within the UN framework."

Maarif (Indonesia):
"This is not an attack on Islam but an attack on humanity."

Awang (Malaysia):
"This despicable war exposes the ugliness of America and its allies."

Why can't they listen? Australia, Britain, and the U.S. are virtually alone in this (aside from the minimal amount of support from smaller countries around the world, which basically don't have a choice).

I just don't get it.

5pm today though. Hit the streets.
