But don't all those reasons make absolutely no sense right now? France has been a country a little "on the bubble" on Iraqi actions. This could have the effect of swaying them on everything, right at a very crucial time.
The country has to tip one way or the other. Everybody knows this. This could have the effect of tipping public opinion towards taking the US direction on Iraq and then on future actions. Why attack on October 6, 2002?
