BBC News | "We've always been the best of friends, n'est-ce pas"?

"US President George W Bush has opened the annual Group of Eight (G8) summit, hailing the unanimous passing of a new UN resolution on Iraq hours earlier."

What I find particularly interesting is the "unsaid" (non-dit) side of the UN resolution: that it is, in essence, precisely the resolution that was requested by France one year ago. How big a difference a year makes! And of course, best friends don't bring up nagging remarks like "I told you so."
