If France, Russia and Germany had really cared "a fig" about Iraqi citizens....

My main bone of contention is with France, who have cynically stabbed us in the back with their anti-war BS.

Germany has not taken any concrete measures to hinder our operation, we have had free use of our bases and hospitals there, as I've said before actions speak louder than words.

Russia was still in cold war mode when they sold most of their weapons to Iraq, and I discount their current position somewhat based on history. Germany has not been an arms supplier to Iraq, but France has.

France simply has no excuse for their behavior toward the US on this issue, it's nothing but mean spirited anti-Americanism on their politicians (and left leaning media personalities) parts. If there's a country whose state run businesses I want excluded from any profitable contracts when Iraq gets rebuilt, it's France.
