The administration took its lumps for its "coalition of the willing" in the war to liberate Iraq and the world from Saddam Hussein.

One of those who sneered at the coalition was Jonathan Stevenson, an analyst at International Institute for Strategic Studies in London. Back in March, he said, "The list includes a lot of "who-cares' countries."

Who cares? French President Jacques Chirac does, for one.

He got his knickers in a twist over Donald Rumsfeld's description of the Paris-Berlin axis as "old Europe."

When seven former communist states of the "new Europe" backed America, Chirac's cork popped. He called them "infantile" and "reckless." He threatened to yank their bids to join the European Union.

What made Chirac apoplectic?
