#1 The important thing is to make the peace-keeping mission happen---with or without the UN---with or without NATO. Afghanistan will be a tough one to bring out of the dark ages, especially with all the bandits operating out of the peaceful country of Pak. Countries belonging to the UN and NATO that are results oriented will work together, and the rest can stay in the backwater with the de Gaulle et al.

#4 I'm with RB, and hope the French offer of four planes for [non-warfare] Iraq patrols is turned down. Remember, French forces outside French territory have the right to vote on whether or not to undertake an assigned mission, and on at least one occasion during the fighting in Afghanistan did turn down a mission - leaving guess-who to reallocate resources and do the work.
