Well, the US made its share of dirty deeds with Saddam, but not so recently.

As for going to the UN, I'm wondering if it's some sort of reverse-psychology thing. As long as Bush is asking the UN for help, the French will try to hold it up. If he'd been publicly decrying the UN as irrelevant and saying the US and Britian and a few others could do it on their own, the French would be trying to get the UN in immediately.
