By the way I should note that the UPD does have their reasons for hating the Covenant other than just paranoia. For one the agreement was made on what they consider unequal grounds and all attempts to mollify the deal were reject. Something they find suspicious.

Also the French insulted their honor(something that is a big no no when dealing with them) by basically making them give up territories they had sacrificed their soldiers lives to gain. As far as they are concerned the French should only be able to take those territories by sacrificing their own troops to gain it. The only reason the agreed to give them over was because they have things they other problems, otherwise they would have said "bring it on."

Finally they way the French insulted them, the Mendel, and the Zarbanians is seen as another diplomatic blunder to them and has not convinced them that is Covenant is a good idea.
