Man, that statement is so dumb I don't know where to start

Well, if it is so damned dumb why don't you just tell me where I'm wrong. As far as I'm aware, about the only thing we really have to have from anywhere else is oil, and in a pinch we could simply drill up in ANWR.

Do you honestly believe that all French, German and Russian citizens oppose American foreign policy based on their governments financial interests?

Of course. Clearly, the war was the correct and righteous thing to have done; no thinking person would argue otherwise today (actually, no THINKING person would have argued against it in the first place, but that is another matter).

The reality is these other nations were owed billions, not by Iraq, but by Saddam Hussein, and they knew damned well they wouldn't get it -- and we need to see to it they don't.
