The U.S. helped Iraq in the 80s when it suited its geopolitical aims, as opposed to France, whose interest in propping up the Iraqi peoples oppressor has been largely financial

Assuming that is correct, how is what US has done any better than what France has done??? "Geopolitical aims" versus "financial aims". How is the former any better than the latter, as the reason to support an oppressive dictatorship?

Btw, X is a "Madame", not a "Monsieur".
