They may even be selling stuff to Iraq and don't want to hurt business.
MAY BE????? Not "may be"; are.

The French lost WW II to the Germans in about 20 minutes.
Well, actually, it wasn't that bad. Six weeks. About half the time it took the Germans to march from their western border to Paris in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870. Which the frog started when, in one of their periodic bouts of insanity, they declared war on Prussia. The French emperor, Napoleon III, was captured by the Germans during the Franco-Prussian War.

It took the Germans all of one day to capture Denmark in WW2. OTOH, Denmark is 1/15 the size of France and had decided to put up no fight, failing to see the point of getting people killed when they would surely lose anyway. (Obviously, the Danes are much smarter than Iraqis.)

The French have not earned their right to oppose President Bush's plans to attack Iraq.
Amen.

On the other hand, I have.
It appears I don't agree with Rooney's viewpoint on the Iraq matter, but yes, he has earned the right to his opinion.
