As a neighbour of the French, iI have some issues with them, but not inre with this. I don't know if 80% of countries opposed the war, but there was a whole lot more the France and Germany (certainly if you consider the people's opinion). France just happens to have a veto right.davidmc said:If 80% comprises Germany & France then...well...yes. I have a difficult time holding France to acct. because of thier bankrolling our revolution & the invaluable service of thier Navy to help us throw off the chain's of England. Thier actions in this century & the last inre: conflict, century are debatable &, therefore they are not the same entity.
But why keep bringing up this OFF thing? I haven't seen any proof that the goverments of say France germany or Russia were doing any illegal profiteering of this. Sure, they were doing business with iraq, more than others, but was it illegal? I know some companies and officials were involved in the scandal (including US companies)
If the Russians or French wanted to make money, they would have backed the invasion, right? They knew the US was going in anyway and could get one of those sweet no-bid contracts....
catch you later
