Nah, the French/Germans/Chinese don't really like Saddam, they are just miffed over the constant stream of snubs they've endured from Bush. So they do the only thing they CAN do, they refuse to support him.

I mean, in their defense, Bush DID go in front of the whole world, months ago, and said we'd go after Saddam with or without the UN's approval. It's a horrible slight to the nations on the security council, it basically says "Your opinions don't matter to us".

Of course they everyone knew we'd do it alone, but there's no good reason to SAY it to the whole world.
