France has foiled every attempt by the US to seriously bring the Iraq issue before the UN. They have done this for the oil deals with Iraq and their desire to counter US power. This is very self-serving. The bottom-line has been their support of  Saddam Hussein by protecting him from UN mandates.

I know that many would like to think France as an ally despite the arguments over the war with Iraq. 

I don't believe it. Not any more.

The US and France can no longer work together on the War on Terror because France is on the opposite side of terror, an is therefore part of the "Axis of Evil".

France is part of the Axis of Evil  for the following reasons:

France's relationship with Iraq was cozy in the past. It was a French "Osirak" reactor being built for Saddam Hussein on the outskirts of Baghdad that Israeli jets preemptively destroyed in 1981. The reactor was built to supply materials for  a nuclear device. The French knew it and didn't care. They did it for the money.

France has been selling spare parts for Iraqi Mirages (French made) at least un till January 03. The parts they supply will keep Iraqi aircraft in the air to kill our troops in Iraq in March 2003.

France has billions in oil deals with Iraq. To consummate the deals they had to be very friendly with the Iraqi regime. They dealt with the "devil" and now are allied with it. Economics takes precedent over the security of the world. Selfish.

France, in the 1990s, tipped off Iraqi officials about the plans of the UN inspectors. Consequently, the UN inspectors had little success in finding the secret caches of weapons hidden in cities and the countryside.  Evil.
         Are they doing this in 2003? Maybe.

France, in an effort to bolster its global position, has sent emissaries to UN Security Council member countries to convince them the US is wrong and they are right. They may have even paid them to vote against the U.S. 

France's actions in 2003 have put our soldiers in peril, they have made it easier for Saddam Hussein to kill them on the battlefield. They have made it easier for terrorists to attack America to kill our citizens. Pure evil.
