MICHAEL MORAN writes that France is seeking paybacks for Suez.
I think that Eisenhower was wrong to do what he did then, though I regret it a lot less when I reflect on the consistent pattern of French fecklessness over the past century. But France's efforts here -- which have everything to do with parochial concerns and nothing to do with promoting "world peace" -- merely serve to demonstrate even more clearly that the United Nations is a purely political body with no moral component whatsoever.
