You are defending France for basically doing nothing. They were merely taking care of their selfish interests. They have billions invested in Iraq and they were worried about getting that money back.

You claim that the US has not been successful the past 2 years. Wiping out Al Queda in Afghanistan and eliminating a tyranny which has killed and tortured as many as 2 million sounds pretty successful. Yes, there are "pockets of resistance" in the war on terrorism.

As far as Saudi Arabia goes, the problem is that they have been trying to play both sides of the street. The like the fact that the US has been there to provide "protection." On the other hand, the oilogarch sheiks keep their people enslaved. The outlet of allowing Muslim fanaticism to be taught and followed was a safety valve, but one which is now biting them on the posterior.
