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

Since you asked the question, and I've already given you a response, I'd like to ask you one.

What logical, humanitarian reason is there for these three nations to object to the lifting of sanctions and reinstatement of food-for-oil? After the US freed the Iraqi people, we have seen the truth in Iraq and it is horrible. Saddam was killing thousands of his own people, MONTHLY, by neglect and starvation, so that he could hoard American dollars, build palaces, live in luxury. Today, these people need the sanctions lifted. Yet the nations you mentioned are opposing it.

This is but one more example of these nations putting their own financial interests before those of the humanitarian cause in Iraq. I don't think for a microsecond that the French people will support this idiot Chirac when these facts are brought to their attention.

My question: What possible motivation do you think they could have for this position?
