Chirac defies Bush multilateralism

The A.P. reports today,
Seeking to build on rare harmony with Europe after a U.N. vote, President Bush proposed a wider but unspecified role for NATO in post-occupation Iraq. But French President Jacques Chirac immediately objected.

UPDATE: Ann's Fuse Box weighs in with a few definitions:
So when the US goes it alone--with a coalition of over 70 countries--we are unilateralist, international-lawbreaking, evil, hegemonist, and imperialist.

And when the US gets multilateral agreements, we are just international-lawbreaking, evil, hegemonist, and imperialist.
