U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld dismissed French and German opposition to war with Iraq, saying that the two countries represent "old Europe" and that NATO's expansion means "the center of gravity is shifting to the east."

To anybody who reads this and lives outside the U.S.: I'm sorry. I'm truly sorry. This is not the face we wanted to put on.

[EDIT 8:21 AM]
From the same article:

"Any decision belongs to the Security Council and the Security Council alone, which will address the issue after having examined the latest inspectors' report," [French President Jacques] Chirac said. "Secondly, as far as we're concerned, war always means failure."

I can't believe I'm agreeing with a Frenchman. ;)
