It's quite simple
China/Russia/France's oil issues aside
the reason France is leading the charge is so that Chirac makes political gains internally with his large voting muslim population
a country who has not been a world power since napoleon has no business holding a veto in the UN. That being said it is a permanent member, and cannot be voted out and all of the other permanent members including France -vote that france be ousted
France has never given a hoot about the morality of war, if it did, it wouldn't continue to sell its arms to brutal regimes and 3rd world banana republics
Russian and China to this day continue to sell arms to North Korea
simplistic views that these countries are just anti-american isn't quite correct
they are more anti-political losses and anti-economic loses however skewed it may be presented in the media
the worst problem is that the Un will likely be rendered useless, and as a result lots of little wars will sprout up, unchecked
