Back to the perfidious french, and other comments. The examples you gave also are to french interests. The eifel Tower had been targeted by al Queda and the plot had been discovered. However, clearly french anti-terrorist activity is welcome. CNN, in a report on Saddam's billions, claimed that every barrel of oil exported was required to bribe Saddam 60-80 cents. He contracts were with TotalElfFina, a french company.

The looting was not done by Americans, unlike the looting the french did to stock the Louvre, but was done by Iraqis. Therefore, who should bear responsibility? In addition, I read that the looters destroyed the catalouges were destroyed, making tracing more difficult. It had all the earmarks of an inside job. Artifacts were on the french blackmarket within hours (vbg). In fact, it is obvious to anyone that the looters were french, probably led by chirac (vbg).
