I recently read an article (for once, I don’t remember where), that accused France and Germany of unilateralism and it’s true. That’s usually the charge laid against America, but it’s losing its force. In fact, I can’t recall hearing it too much recently. As Australia and the majority of Europe have publicly stated their solidarity and agreement with the U.S. position, we can no longer be honestly called unilateralist. Rather, we have now become multilateralist. France and Germany, however, are consistently opposing our resolve and our proposals in the UN. As a result, they are now the ones acting unilaterally.
