If the question were asked to name the most childish international diplomatic ploy ever made a good instant response might be the pre-Iraq War tragic scenario where France was blamed for alleged wimp-like behavior for not immediately following the White House neoconservative rush to war.

This childish behavior was implemented by the symbolic act of the previously named French toast, which has endured for years, and changing it to freedom toast when served on Air Force One, the plane that transports George W. Bush.

Such a gesture befit the occasion of a robust nation flexing its muscles and launching a war in the best tradition of Rambo.

Who was France's leader during that period?  Who was the force urging that the launching of the first wave of shock and awe be withheld until it could be determined by a UN weapons inspection team headed by Hans Blix of Sweden that the alleged weapons actually existed?
