Don't Go Up Against U.S., UK's Straw Tells France
OH SO NOW THE WAR IS FRANCE'S FAULT?!!!!!!!!!!

LONDON (Reuters) - British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw warned France on Thursday against
trying to rival the United States and said he understood anger in Washington at French
opposition to the war in Iraq (news - web sites).


Straw repeated his belief that war could have been avoided if a pre-war consensus had been
reached at the United Nations (news - web sites).
"I do believe that if we had been able to come together... in January and February and had a really
tough ultimatum to Saddam Hussein (news - web sites), if we'd got France and Russia on board
then I think the war may well have been avoided," he said.
