Steven Weisman looks at the U.N. scandal involving French involvement in the corrupt oil-for-food program as yet another Bush failure of diplomacy: "The Bush administration's handling this week of a report on Saddam Hussein's attempts to purchase weapons and buy influence has angered French officials and set back a year of American efforts to repair the rupture caused by the Iraq war, French and other European officials said Friday."

• November 20 -- Iraqi Women Suffering Since Hussein Gone
